“A process by which a team coach works with a whole team, both when they are together and when they are apart, in order to help them improve both their collective performance and how they work together, and also how they develop their collective leadership to more effectively engage with all their key stakeholder groups to jointly transform the wider business.”
(Hawkins 2014:80)
Systemic Team Coaching® provides a richer, more sustainable learning experience than other forms of team or group development. It is an evolution of coaching methodologies, which enables leaders and organizations to develop in more dramatic ways than traditional coaching allows.
For people and organizations with strong coaching skills and an understanding of team development, it also presents an opportunity to expand their practice or organization from working with individuals to enabling teams to function at their highest possible level continually creating value to them, their teams, their organizations and the wider ecology.
The longest-running worldwide team coaching programs available are ICF and EMCC-accredited.
Our worldwide faculty of leading systemic team coaches have combined their experience of organizational consulting, executive coaching, group dynamics and psychotherapy, as well as many years at the senior levels of business, to provide an exciting, experiential program.
Master the art of Systemic Team Coaching® and develop resilient, adaptive, value-creating teams for today’s complex business landscape.
Exponential change and greater stakeholder complexity call for new forms of leadership development that can create learning at individual, team and organizational level. As senior executives adopt a more collaborative team-based leadership style, systemic team coaching can play a pivotal role in their development strategy so that organizations become better equipped in understanding their stakeholder needs and anticipating what customers will value tomorrow.
Traditional individual-focused leadership models are becoming less effective in a landscape marked by rapid change and complex organizational issues. Modern organizations face a critical challenge to evolve team dynamics and leadership styles.
Seasoned leaders and mentors are well aware of the obstacles that prevent their teams from achieving optimal performance. Guiding teams past these hurdles is essential for their success and yours.
Ineffective communication, unclear objectives, and insufficient team unity are significant challenges that have the potential to deprive teams of achieving extraordinary innovations.
Systemic Team Coaching® is the first to offer a live-online educational hub dedicated to team coaching. It’s where the world’s foremost team coaching experts come to teach, where coaches come to become the best and where organizations come to find the best in team leadership.
The program draws on 30+ years of team-specific research around the world, the experience of team coaching experts, and comes with a substantial toolkit. It supports your transformational shift in your thinking, doing and being so you can coach the transformational shift within the team, the team of teams, the organization and the wider ecosystem. You will learn how to coach the transformation shift in the room, and between the team and their stakeholders. You will experience complex organizational challenges through live sessions with international CEOs and how to create compelling ways to partner in meeting these challenges. You will explore how to design and lead on team of teams engagements and how to flex to the needs of different types of teams. You will develop your muscle in seeing and acting systemically including how to integrate team coaching culture across an enterprise.
