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.
Topics
- Success factors in team coaching: the real coaching question, responsibility and the desired outcome
- From drama techniques to winner techniques when team dynamics stall
- The phases of team development: forming, storming, norming and performing
- Intervening in conflicts and your own conflict-handling style
- A systemic view of teams: undercurrent and surface current
- The three hats of the team coach: leader, manager and coach
- Recognising and handling projection mechanisms
- The emotional stages of change and how to make them open to discussion
- Working with group roles and group norms
- Bringing in and discussing your own cases
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.

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.

What others say about this course
“Under highly professional guidance, as a team of 18 people we made real progress in just 4 half-day sessions in the area of expectations and communication with each other. There turned out to be more beneath the surface than we had thought beforehand; this came out into the open and was discussed properly. We evaluate the agreements together every two years in order to keep to what we agreed.”
“Good”
“An instructive course in which the trainer responded well to our questions and learning objectives. Taught in an interactive way and with humour.”

“A very interesting course that I have got a great deal out of. I will certainly be applying things within our company that I learned during the course. I have also gained a completely different view of the company I work for. Only now do I really see which things could be improved with us. And I will certainly be working on that.”
“Learnit is a professional organisation; I have personally made use of the courses offered to me several times and in various ways. I have got a lot out of them personally, and I still apply part of it in practice every day. Importantly, Learnit does not stop after a day's training, but continues to give the client the attention they need in the period afterwards.”

What do you learn during the Team Coaching course?
You learn to look at teams systemically, observe group processes and apply targeted interventions. You gain insight into the phases of team development, learn to deal with conflict, projections and resistance, and practise your role as a team coach. Your own cases are central.
Who is the Team Coaching course intended for?
The course is intended for managers, (project) managers, (organisational) consultants, coaches and trainers who guide teams or want to start doing so. You want to become better at seeing patterns and dynamics within teams and at intervening in them effectively.
Is prior knowledge required for the Team Coaching course?
No specific prior knowledge is required. Experience in guiding or managing teams will help you connect quickly with the material and practise with your own cases.
What does the programme of the Team Coaching course look like?
You work on themes such as the success factors of team coaching, the stages of team development, systemic observation, conflict handling, the three hats of the team coach and projection mechanisms. Theory is immediately linked to exercises and to situations from your own practice.
Do you receive a certificate after the Team Coaching course?
Yes. On completion you receive a Learnit certificate of participation, showing that you have attended 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 the undercurrent: loyalty, place, ordering and whatever remains 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 this the three hats. As a team coach it is crucial to switch between them clearly, because otherwise you are not detached enough to coach.
Which stages does a team go through in its development?
Commonly used phases are forming (getting to know each other), storming (friction and taking up positions), norming (agreements and cooperation) and performing (effective performance). 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 cooperation.
How do you deal with conflicts in a team as a team coach?
Conflicts are part of team development, especially in the storming stage. As a team coach you first examine what is really going on beneath the conflict: which interests, positions or unspoken expectations lie underneath? 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-handling 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 constantly: 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 patterns and take ownership.
