What do clients need to know to recognize the value and impact of team coaching?

What do coaches need to know about the competencies and other requirements for the ICF ACTC?

Talk with any organizational leader about team coaching and they will have an appreciation (could be good or bad!) for those “bonding” events or team building. What if instead, you described a process of working with the team to identify its dynamics, relationships and systems in a way that brings together the talent and capabilities of the team and aligns them to a common purpose executing on shared goals. Do you think the leader might be curious to learn more? Share a few of these tangible characteristics that are part of every team, and a leader will recognize that team coaching delivers greater impact than the “bonding” events they are accustomed to.

In our time together we will:

• Explore stages and components of team development
• Outline a team coaching engagement
• And connect these to the ICF team coaching competencies

You will walk away:

• Equipped to have a conversation on the benefits of team coaching
• Knowledgeable about the team coaching competencies
• With questions answered about the Advanced Certification in Team Coaching
