Team Coaching

Team coaching can be leveraged to generate results, enhance employee engagement, drive organizational change, foster innovation, development leadership cultures and much more.

As a Team Coach, I work with a wide variety of teams

• Executive Committe teams
• Project teams
• Multicultural and Multinational teams
• Innovation Teams
• Sales teams
• Transformation teams
• Etc., etc.,…

Some of the benefits of Team Coaching include

• Accelerate learning and performance
• Diagnose and design high performing teams
• Foster innovation
• Promote agility
• Proactively engage stakeholders
• Grow collective leadership capability
• Drive organizational change
• Break down silos

As an effective Team Coach, there are five key elements that I had to the process, which I believe strongly enhance results

• A focus on the whole.As a Team Coach, I have the ability to coach individuals in many ways, but the goal is to facilitate learning for the team as a whole. I find ways for team members to gain insight and practice different behaviors in the context of the team and its goals. Individual assessment and feedback is also a component of team coaching, but it is always related to improving team effectiveness.

• A systems-thinking perspective.As a coach, I understand the complex organizational dynamics in which the team operates.

• Comfort with ambiguity and complexity.Team dynamics often create unpredictability and complexity. I don’t expect to drive the direction and specific outcomes of the team. Instead, I have to be willing to learn the ways in which the team works, and then coach accordingly.

• The ability to set boundaries.I am skilled at understanding, identifying and managing boundaries. I am finely attuned to the many relationships within the team. I work within at least four relational units: with individuals, with the team as a whole, with the organization, and with the organization’s broader business ecosystem.

• A long-term view.Team coaching doesn’t always have immediate results. Other business and organizational demands are great and constant so, as a coach I do not pressure the group to change too much too soon. With persistence and patience, the team and the individuals within it function more effectively.
