Hire a Certified " Team Coach "

Becoming the best version of you as professional group

Building a ‘high performing team’

WHEN or WHY would you need team coaching?

Team Coaching is designed to … 

  • guide a group towards a higher maturity so that 1 + 1 becomes 3
  • invite the team members to choose team development goals that are aligned with the company’s mission
  • become more aware as a team, what patterns or habits are holding them in a status quo in growth
  • build on including diversity and become able to use the potential of complementarity to the fullest
  • become aware as individuals how their personal contributions affect team dynamics and what is needed to overcome stuck states
  • decide as a team what wisdom and potential could be exploited more to move towards a higher performing team!

WHAT does a team coach do?

Professional team coaches offer much more than a team event: The team coach does much more than facilitating activities, s/he:
  • observes the team dynamics, patterns, unconscious habits, which are of course connected with the wider system
  • designs attuned interventions for the team to become able to observe themselves in the ‘way they act together’
  • mirrors patterns underlying both the success and the status quo of the team
  • asks powerful reflective questions for the team to decide what they want to change for the better
  • overlooks the developmental stages of the team and offers challenges to experiment and move to the next maturity stage

HOW can team coaching be successful?

The criteria for a successful team coaching trajectory are:

  • team coaching is not a one shot, it is a journey
  • teamleader and team members participate both as members of the team
  • all team members need to agree on the team development objectives
  • the role of sponsor, leader, team coach needs to be clarified
  • the team members remain the ‘owner’ of the trajectory. Each step is defined in co-creation with the team and the leader.
  • the team coach needs to be sensitive to observe system dynamics (not individual dynamics).
  • team coaching activities need to lead to tangible action plans, signed off by all
  • intermediate follow-up of action plans will define the long term success of team coaching interventions
