Insights from the Turner International Faculty: A Journey from Beginner to Senior Practitioner in Team Coaching.
In a recent conversation, the Turner International Team Coaching Faculty shared their personal learning journeys in evolving from newer team coaches to senior practitioners and beyond. Reflecting on their own development, learn how they’ve advanced their practice and provide even more value.
According to Senior Leadership Teams: What It Takes to Make Them Great, of 120 leadership teams studied across the globe, 42% performed poorly, 37% delivered mediocre performance and only 21% delivered outstanding results. (Forbes online, 2021)
Team coaching is “A facilitated process that enables an organised group of people the opportunity to experience how to learn together through honest dialogue and consistent reflection to enhance both themselves and the system.” Tammy Turner, Team Coaching Handbook (2019)
TEAM COACHING
​
Organisations of the future rely on 9 key attributes which enable their people, the community, the environment as well as sustaining their commercial well-being. More than ever before, leaders need to collaborate – with their teams, stakeholders, cross-functionally and across the organisation. In a hybrid, virtual or in-person working environment, engaging a team around decision-making, innovation or simply getting stuff done is crucial. Yet many leaders do not have the ability to create a psychologically safe environment where the team can share their ideas as well as commit to their tasks.
Team coaching integrates aspects of other disciplines and theories including systems thinking, behavioural science, psychology, psycho dynamic analysis, systems theory, organisation behaviour, and organisational culture. As a professional coach, coaching or HR professional or facilitator, you are being called to ignite team leaders and members to co-create a more harmonious team environment through genuine engagement and interactions. Turner International is partnering with Coaching and Mentoring International (CMI) to offer a suite of team coaching training to take you from interest in coaching to becoming a competent and confident team coach.
