About Team Coaching



Team Performance is at the heart of any successful organisation yet team performance is often ineffective and overlooked. As the pace of organisational change accelerates, teams need to be able to adapt and work in a more systemic way to achieve the results their stakeholders expect. There is no doubt that workplaces are becoming more complex as the amount of information to process increases, coupled with the unprecedented need for people to connect and collaborate. 

Team Coaching is an emerging approach that leaders or coaches have available to them to maximise the performance and effectiveness of their team to drive outcomes and build team dynamics. ISLC - as a world leader in accredited coach training - is delighted to invite you to our Team Coach Training Program

What is Team Coaching

Team coaching is one development intervention available to support teams to perform. David Clutterbuck (2007) defines team coaching as "helping the team improve performance, and the processes by which performance is achieved, through reflection and dialogue". The team coach therefore needs to first distinguish what is a team, then what are the drivers of performance, and how to engage the team members with this through reflection and constructive dialogue.

Learning and Outcome

As with all our programs, we believe that learning through experience is essential. During the program we will create a "real time" group dynamic through which we experience and learn the team coaching process. Over the three days of the program, you will learn:

• The difference between a team and a group
• The drivers of team performance
• How to shift your coaching from individual to team
• How team coaching fits with other team interventions such as training, facilitation and group coaching
• When each approach applies to support a team's development 
• The five steps to successful team coaching
• About team dynamics and how to intervene in team meetings to raise awareness and change behavior
• How to assess when a team is ready for team coaching and how to start
• How to immediately apply your learning to working with a team

The Program is Suitable for 

• External consultants/coaches
• Internal coaches
• Team leaders

The program requires that you have both knowledge of coaching and some experience in coaching individuals. The program builds on this

foundation helping you apply your existing understanding of individual coaching to a team coaching context. Ideally you will have completed ISLC Level One in Organizational Coaching (or equivalent) and have at least 40 hours of coaching practice.
