Team Coaching
Team coaching includes all team members and aims to improve relationships and accelerate the team’s development for the value of its current and future stakeholders and systems. The learning intervention expands the team’s horizons and perspectives, starting with a team diagnostic to review your team’s strengths and development areas.
Systemic team coaching involves me working with you (the team leader), team members and the team’s stakeholders through the systemic lens of the work to drive change through new connections and connected conversations. Together we will create value for the team and its stakeholders by working with the team’s untapped, undiscovered resources to work towards creating a higher value team.
The Process
The work starts with a scoping meeting with you to understand the team's context, strengths, and challenges.
From your brief, we’ll agree on the scope of work and contract the project before opening the process to the team members and stakeholders, starting with a 360 diagnostic and interview process. This process enables voices inside and outside the team to contribute. It also allows us to consider the value of the team to stakeholders now and in the future.
We then meet with the team to share the data from the output of all these stages. Finally, we co-create a development plan for half-day virtual workshops and coaching interventions that create the desired behaviour changes you collectively seek.
You and I will work together virtually through a series of meetings at each project stage. Ideally, all your team would experience the team coaching workshops together. In addition, I will work with another team coach to co-deliver the project to ensure we listen systemically to all the team members and cover the stakeholders you wish to connect to.
We can agree at the scoping stage on how best to work with two coaches alongside the levels of 1-1 coaching that partners with the team interventions for yourself and the team members.

"Systemic team coaching was an invaluable tool to help me to lead my team through a period of change and uncertainty. It enabled us to listen to our customers, collaborators, and each other, and re-evaluate what was working well, and where we needed to think or behave differently. This was a hugely galvanising experience that has created the foundations for a new strategy, ways of working and team identity. We’ve already had some powerful feedback from stakeholders who have noticed a positive change in how we work together with them, and the team is energised by having shaped their own destiny. We’ve also noticed other teams now focussing on defining their own purpose and ways of working- it seems to have inspired reflection and change more widely"
It's been hard at times but so worth it-the feedback symbolises the progress we’ve made over the past 6 months or so on the Project, and the fact that one of our key stakeholders is recognising a mindset shift is absolutely brilliant"
