Our unique approach

To create genuine, safe spaces for you to practise and experiment, we maintain a high faculty-to-participant balance.
Using experienced actors, we do ‘live practice’ using your scenarios or case studies. Delegates love this unique aspect of previous programmes.
Practice contracting, designing and executing elements of a team coaching intervention.
Inspired by a research-based model, framework and approach, ‘Creating the Team Edge’.
While models are helpful, we vigorously promote the centrality of a team coach’s ‘way of being’, respecting your experience and celebrating an eclectic approach to team coaching.
20 hours of online learning materials, including a copy of the book* (minimum of 5 hours to be completed as pre-work).
*The book is available for attendees based in the UK and Ireland, with an e-book provided for those outside these regions.
A one-hour group mentoring session, post-programme, to support your work with teams.
