What do you learn during the Team Coaching course?

You learn to look at teams systemically, to observe group processes and to apply targeted interventions. You gain insight into the phases of team development, learn to deal with conflicts, projections and resistance, and practise your role as a team coach. Your own case material is central.

Who is the Team Coaching course intended for?

The course is intended for leaders, (project) managers, (organisational) consultants, coaches and trainers who guide teams or want to start doing so. You want to learn to see patterns and dynamics within teams more clearly and to intervene in them effectively.

Is prior knowledge required for the Team Coaching course?

No specific prior knowledge is required. Experience in guiding or leading teams will help you to connect quickly with the material and to practise with your own case material.

What does the programme of the Team Coaching course look like?

You work on themes such as the success factors of team coaching, the phases of team development, systemic observation, conflict management, the three hats of the team coach and projection mechanisms. Theory is linked directly to exercises and your own practical situations.

Do you receive a certificate after the Team Coaching course?

Yes. On completion you will receive a Learnit certificate of participation showing that you have taken the Team Coaching course.

Can the Team Coaching course also be delivered in-company?

Yes, the course can also be taken in-company. We tailor the programme to the practice and learning objectives of your team or organisation. Contact us for a bespoke quotation.

What exactly does systemic team coaching mean?

Systemic team coaching means approaching a team as a whole, with its mutual relationships, patterns and positions. You look not only at what happens visibly on the surface (tasks, agreements), but also at what lies beneath: loyalty, place, order and what plays a part unspoken. From an independent position, you make that dynamic open to discussion.

What is the difference between a team coach, a manager and a leader?

A leader steers on results and behaviour, a manager organises processes and resources, and a team coach guides the team in its development and collaboration. In the course we call these the three hats. As a team coach it is crucial to switch between them clearly, because otherwise you are not free enough to coach.

Which stages does a team go through in its development?

The commonly used phases are forming (getting acquainted), storming (friction and taking up positions), norming (agreements and collaboration) and performing (working effectively). Each phase calls for different interventions. In the storming phase the emphasis is on conflict management, in the norming phase on making agreements and in the performing phase on refining collaboration.

How do you deal with conflicts in a team as a team coach?

Conflicts are part of team development, particularly in the storming phase. As a team coach, you first examine what is really going on beneath the conflict: which interests, positions or unspoken expectations underlie it? You then make the dynamic open to discussion, create movement and help the team to make agreements that will hold. Insight into your own conflict management style helps you to remain effective.

What are projection mechanisms in team coaching?

Projection means attributing a characteristic or feeling that belongs to you to someone else. In teams this happens continually: one team member becomes 'the critic', another 'the weak link'. As a team coach you often act as a projection screen for the team. By recognising and examining projections, you help the team to break through patterns and take ownership.

Team Coaching course | Guiding teams systemically

Name: Team coaching
Price: 1950.0 EUR
Availability: InStock

Teams with the same composition can function in completely different ways. The dynamics, the commitment and the way team members talk to each other make the difference. As a team coach you stand right in the middle of that field of forces.

Description

During this course you learn to observe closely what is happening below the surface, both in yourself and in the team. You take an independent position and look systemically at what is going on: which patterns support collaboration and which keep the team stuck?

Through a variety of working formats, you experience at first hand which interaction patterns work and which do not. You gain a deeper insight into group dynamics and into the competence of collaboration. This teaches you to define your role as a team coach clearly and to trust in it.

The course is practical and experience-based. You work with your own cases, practise with fellow participants and receive feedback from an experienced trainer.

Result

After this course you recognise the stages of team development and the group roles within a team. You formulate coaching questions and desired outcomes clearly, look systemically at what is going on and apply targeted interventions suited to the stage the team is in. You understand the emotional stages of change, can guide teams better in their responsibilities and ways of working together, and know how to increase a team's capacity for self-reflection and its motivation.

Target audience

This course is suitable for leaders, (project) managers, (organisational) consultants, coaches and trainers who want to develop into a team coach. You want a solid theoretical and practical foundation in team development and group dynamics, and you want to learn to make invisible mechanisms, roles and patterns within a team visible by looking at them systemically.

Teaching method

The course is strongly experience-based. You learn by doing: practising with working methods, discussing your own cases and receiving feedback from the trainer and fellow participants. Beforehand there is an intake in which your learning objectives are identified, so that the programme matches what you need. We work in small groups to ensure a safe atmosphere and sufficient personal attention.

Prior knowledge

No specific prior knowledge is required. Experience of guiding or leading teams is an advantage.

In-company

Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.

Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.
