Coaching begins with the individual, but its impact can extend far beyond one-to-one work. When a coach works not with one professional but with an entire team, the scope of the request, the level of complexity, and the coach’s responsibility all change. This is where team coaching comes in - a professional approach to working with teams, their interactions, goals, dynamics, and shared responsibility.
At COACHING.UP, the 7th cohort of the «Professional International-Level Team Coach» program has started. The program is designed for those who want to master team coaching as a distinct professional specialization and work with teams in accordance with international standards.
A team coach does not come to a team with ready-made solutions, teach it how to interact «correctly», or become a consultant or manager. Their role is to create the conditions in which the team can see its own reality, explore its ways of interacting, define shared goals, and find its own solutions.
At the beginning of the 7th cohort, participants are introduced to the foundations of the profession: the principles of team coaching, the role of the coach, ethical standards, the specifics of working with the client, and the systemic context of the team.
Special attention is given to team dynamics: how roles are formed, how tensions arise, and what influences trust, openness, and the team’s ability to move toward a shared outcome.
The training combines theory and practice from the very beginning. Participants analyze real cases, observe demonstration sessions, work with contracting and briefing, and learn to see not only individual people but the entire team as a system.
The program will be valuable for practicing coaches who want to expand their professional practice, work with business-related requests, and support teams during periods of development and change. Team coaching can also become the next professional step for HR specialists, leaders, consultants, and other professionals who already work with teams and want to master a coaching approach at a professional level.
The program is accredited by the ICF at the AATC level - a high level of recognition for team coaching education. It is built on professional ethics, partnership, coach presence, and a systemic approach without NLP, directive advice, or a collection of «magic tools».
The 7th cohort has many opportunities ahead: practice, research, professional discoveries, and work with real team coaching requests.
Congratulations to the participants on the start! We wish you to see an entire system behind individual people, learn to truly hear the team, and create a space where real change becomes possible
