Systemic Team Coaching®
"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." (Hawkins 2014:80)
Team Coaching for Collective Alignment and Growth
Teams as a Living System
Teams operate within a constantly evolving system of relationships, stakeholders, and external pressures. Their success is not just about internal cohesion but also about how they engage with and adapt to the wider organisational and stakeholder landscape. When aligned, they create momentum and impact; when disconnected, they can lose direction and energy. When they move in harmony, they create powerful momentum, but when misaligned, they can drift without direction. Successful teams thrive when they have a shared sense of purpose, the agility to adapt, and the awareness to stay connected to the wider organisational landscape.
A Systemic Approach to Team Growth
Systemic team coaching is not just about enhancing collaboration—it is about developing teams that are outward-looking, connected to their stakeholders, and able to learn and evolve together in response to a changing world. Through an approach that builds collective leadership, deepens systemic awareness, and strengthens the team’s ability to work across boundaries, teams become more resilient, agile, and impactful.
How It Works
Every team exists as part of a wider ecosystem, shaped by interdependencies with other teams, stakeholders, and external forces. Coaching is tailored to the unique nature of each team, ensuring growth that is both purposeful and sustainable.
Understanding the Landscape: Identifying strengths, challenges, and underlying systemic patterns.
Aligning with Purpose: Rooting the team’s actions in a clear, shared vision that resonates across the organisation.
Strengthening the Core: Building trust, open communication, and a culture of psychological safety.
Navigating Complexity: Developing the awareness and agility to respond to changing conditions with clarity and confidence.
Embedding Sustainable Growth: Integrating new ways of working that endure beyond the coaching process.
The Impact of Team Coaching
A well-supported team fosters lasting impact, strengthening not only its internal dynamics but also the broader organisation and stakeholders it serves. This approach fosters:
Deeper Alignment: A team that moves with clarity and cohesion.
Resilient Trust: Stronger relationships and collaboration.
Adaptability: A capacity to evolve with shifting challenges.
Wider Influence: A team that contributes meaningfully within and beyond the organisation.
Sustained Growth: The ability to embed long-term change that lasts.
