Coaching for Team Performance
A five-day programme that develops coaching for whole-team performance — diagnostics, GROW conversations, group facilitation, conflict coaching, embedded routines and measurable engagement and delivery impact.
Introduction
A team's performance rarely improves through instruction alone; it improves when someone helps the team think for itself. The Coaching for Team Performance Training Course develops that capability in leaders and team facilitators. Participants learn to coach individuals, facilitate team conversations, and use collective coaching to lift how the whole group works. Furthermore, the course covers the GROW model, team diagnostics, and coaching through performance challenges. In addition, it addresses conflict, accountability, and measuring team coaching impact. As a result, participants return able to coach for team results rather than individual fixes alone.
