Coaching Teams – A Practical Toolkit
Team coaching is increasing in popularity, largely driven by the benefits experienced when leaders and managers adopt a coaching approach to working with, and developing, others. Most people also do not work alone: they work in a team, or often in many teams – whether in person, virtual or hybrid – to deliver their objectives.
Coaching a team is in many respects no different to coaching an individual. However, whilst many of the core principles apply, there are some key differences.
When successful, team coaching can create positive engagement, increase team effectiveness, help to manage conflict and enhance team dynamics and performance.
Topics Covered
This interactive, online, half-day workshop will build your skills and confidence to:
Understand the key characteristics and behaviours of an effective team
Group reflections and discussion, including around remote and diverse teams
Define a set of common goals or purpose for the team
Demonstration and observations
Develop “ground rules” to enable successful facilitation of team discussions and meetings
Small group exercise to devise and share strategies

Apply the GROW coaching model to a team coaching scenario
