What is a Team Coaching?
Organizations utilize team coaching as a mechanism to aid in the process of their team’s growth towards accomplishing team and organizational goals and objectives, whether focused on a specific project, an innovative business unit, or meeting sales efforts. The make-up of a team coaching dynamic is typically an outside coach and a group of individuals in an organization. Organizations hire coaches to work with their teams to support the acceleration of their team’s overall performance.
Team coaching not only supports the teams’ efforts to reach goals but aids in the process of fostering a sustainable environment that cultivates long-term excellence and success. Teams are able to align on a shared purpose, develop an inspirational team culture, vision, and mission, define clear roles and responsibilities, make personal and team commitments to accountability, make relevant and influential decisions, and take positive action.
This Experience is 100% customized and designed to inspire personal and professional growth by facilitating small groups of career professionals partnering and taking accountability for growing the team and themselves.
