Session 1. Programme Launch
Welcoming you to the programme and introducing team coaching definitions, principles and the team coaching journey.

Session 2. Team Coaching in Practice
The mechanics of team coaching: co-coaching, supporting teams to clarify their team purpose, and develop working agreements. Learners work with each other as a practice team, to gain experience working on a team purpose and charter.

Session 3. Creating Psychological Safety
We begin by looking at diagnostic tools then take a deep dive into ‘creating psychological safety’ and discuss some approaches to working with teams that have become stuck.

Session 4. The Team as a System
In which we explore a systems thinking approach to team coaching. This session also examines how to harness the benefits of diversity in teams and how to approach closing down the team coaching relationship.

Session 5. Practicing Professionally
In which learners consider their signature team coaching style. We also explore what it means to practice ethically, maintaining professional standards.

Successful candidates have the option to stop at this point and gain accreditation at Foundation level. Or they may continue to the Practitioner stage of the programme which will follow directly onwards.

Professional Accreditation
This programme has been assessed by the coaching body, EMCC Global, and has been given the TCQA award, enabling graduates to gain accreditation as a Foundation level team coach (Level 3) with EMCC on completion.
