Team coaching provides a process for a group of people to grow into their potential together, increasing interpersonal and business performance. Beyond team building, it provides a framework for growth, addresses interpersonal dynamics, and aligns the team to deliver on the organization's strategy.

This 6 month program is intended for organizations that want to achieve their goals by developing the potential of each team member and the team as a whole.

Program Structure

Strategy Session

Initial meeting with Team Leader (and sponsor) to understand the organization’s short and long-term goals, and what is working and not working within the team in the process of realizing those goals. This first meeting informs the initial work plan to align the team to the organization's near and future goals.

Birkman Assessment & Discovery

A tool for the assessment of leaders and teams, it measures 3 key perspectives relative to workplace performance. Assessment results are utilized to understand the different workstyles of team members and the culture of the team to improve team dynamics, enhance communication between team members, strengthen emotional intelligence, and to identify behavioral change and habits to support achievement of the organization's goals.

Team Member Interviews

Insights are gathered from each team member to identify structural and interpersonal dynamics that contribute to and detract from the team's ability to align and make progress on objectives. The insights are shared anonymously with the team in a facilitated session, where clarity on expectations, roles and responsibilities, accountability and team governance are surfaced. This creates a path forward for the team to address these areas while focusing on the objectives critical to goal attainment.

Team Assessment

Team Development Plan

Utilizing insights gathered from the team interviews, team assessment and the Birkman assessment, a Team Development Plan is created by the team. It will include structural elements commonly found in a team charter (governance, membership, roles and responsibilities, norms and behaviors) and development of a purpose statement to create alignment. Additional components include the identification of team objectives and milestones to deliver on the purpose, driving toward the company goals. Means for measuring results for each initiative are identified.

Coaching to the Plan

Following the initial Team Development Plan work, monthly sessions guide the team's progress toward objectives. These sessions provide accountability and opportunity for exploration, growth and reflection on new behaviors and habits implemented by the team. They also provide the opportunity for the team to collaboratively evolve the purpose or reprioritize objectives as circumstances shift. The team coach is also accessible between sessions via email, text or conversation in support of team members individually.

The Outcome

Within the sixth month of the team coaching engagement, a progress and results update will be scheduled with the team leader, the team and any sponsor. Progress toward planned objectives will be measured by the means outlined in the Team Development Plan. A path forward and recommendation for next steps will result from this meeting. Team coaching support can be continued beyond the initial engagement as agreed to by the team and sponsor.
