TEAM COACHING
Eighty percent (80%) of organizations operate almost wholly in teams and today’s world is highly complex and constantly changing. The challenges of this new normal require collaborative teams which have cross-generational leadership and multi-cultural members.
Unlike one-to-one coaching or team building you might be more familiar with, Team Coaching explores issues that relate to collective performance, enabling the team to recognize and manage influences on its performance, now and in the future.
Team coaching takes a systemic view of those influences, which may concern the team’s internal dynamics and/or how it interacts with its stakeholders. For example:
Our powerful and effective Focus on Solution x Teams© program will enhance the performance on individual members, the leader and the team, directly impacting the immediate business and wider organization. Alba Contreras Rodriguez works with the entire team as a collective and with the individual team members on their strengths and weaknesses. Individual team members will see where they can support their colleagues in a more cohesive and clearly defined way. Team leaders will learn more about their team members as people and not just as another colleague. The result is more confident team leaders and team members who bring more to their stakeholders, team, and company.
Organizations need qualified team coaches with the ability to partner with leaders to create connections on multiple levels to develop a sustainable and prosperous workplace.
Our value proposition is to enable the team to answer the following questions and co-create a roadmap to deliver the desired state:
- What is the shared endeavor that the world and the stakeholders are asking this team to step up to?
- What does the future require from this team to anticipate/meet the needs of our stakeholders?
Expected Outcomes of Team Coaching
Integrating Team Coaching into an organization can:
- Increase trust
- Improve team dynamics
- Help team members think beyond themselves and their own team to consider the organization’s larger objectives as a whole
- Facilitate teams to work with each other and every stakeholder group across and beyond the organization to deliver value to stakeholders
- Develop greater clarity of purpose, better processes of decision-making, communicating, and organizing work
- Enable teams to adapt and navigate the challenges of today’s hyper-complex and fast-changing world
- Embed team-based thinking ensuring organizations stay relevant during major transitions and/or transformations

- greater self-awareness
Group Coaching is a process in which a coach works with a small group of people who share similar goals, our Focus on Solution Groups© Coaching Program is The Cost of Overusing your Strengths.
Why do people love group coaching programs?
Group Coaching brings the coaching conversation into a group context. It is an intimate space, focused on goal setting, deepening awareness around key issues, taking action, and accountability.
How does the group coaching format can actually provide greater support for you?
- Research has shown that commitments made publicly are more likely to be kept and sharing progress with others makes people more likely to accomplish their goals.
- The group can create greater accountability so that you can take more action and ultimately achieve better results.
- When people go for a big goal or focus on addressing an important issue, they often feel isolated. Being part of a coaching group with others in a similar situation creates synergy, momentum, and inspiration.
- There is the collective group wisdom which is one of the best ways to address – “not knowing what you don’t know”. Hearing someone else’s questions, concerns, insights, and ideas around a common challenge is a powerful way to deepen learning, expand awareness, and discover new insights.
- Last and not least, group coaching provides a more affordable way to support your growth and transformation by achieving your goals.
