Systemic Team Coaching for Real Impact
Overview
Our “Systemic Team Coaching for Real Impact” Programme is designed to enhance the interrelation of individual leaders in service of the team’s shared goals and priorities.
What is Systemic Team Coaching?
Peter Hawkins, in his book "Leadership Team Coaching" , describes Systemic Team Coaching as follows:
"Systemic team coaching is a process by which a team coach works with a whole team, both when they are together and when they are apart, in order to help them improve both their collective performance and how they work together, and also how they develop their collective leadership to more effectively engage with all their key stakeholder groups to jointly transform the wider business".
High performing teams collaborate, innovate and produce superior results in a consistent way. In our complex business environment, the value of working in teams is critical to an organization’s ability to solve complex challenges.
"None of us is as smart as all of us."
Our “Systemic Team Coaching for Real Impact” Programme fosters systemic change through multiple interventions that align organisational and human dynamics in both the individual and a team level. We associate the entire team towards an outcome and link individual developmental goals to real strategic deliverables. This powerful approach supports coordination and cooperation across departmental and functional boundaries and focuses coaching on what really matters in accomplishing organizational goals.
"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success"

Aligning for Success.
Generating Powerful Action.
Building Psychological Safety.
Producing Commitment Based Teamwork.
Creating Mutual Accountability.
By coaching all team members, we understand the implications of relationships on the team which adds to our ability to align task and relationship issues.
By working with team members individually and the team as whole, we have insights of current, real-life information that supports our coaching process.
Interpersonal conflict which has not been resolved dominates team dynamics. Therefore, we mediate by promoting conversations between team members where the relationship is stuck or when they need a third person's for support, skill-building or conflict resolution.
We design and deliver workshops for the team on a variety of topics, including: individual self-awareness, enhancing the level of trust and collaboration on the team, how to improve team relationships and make them stronger and resolving conflict.
Sustainability Planning
Commitment for Sustainability: We will implement processes for peer coaching to foster continued growth and development.
