Team Coaching

Teams are complex, living systems. Power dynamics, competing priorities and organisational politics can make it difficult for teams to step back, reflect honestly and address what is really happening. An external team coach—independent of internal agendas—can create the psychological safety and neutral space required for teams to improve relationships, communication and performance.

Team Coaching, facilitated by Caroline Beckett up to C-Suite level, provides a confidential and supportive environment in which teams can challenge themselves, stretch their performance and become more effective.

Using a personalised, systemic approach, team coaching focuses on both individual contribution and the wider organisational context. This enables team members to develop deeper self-awareness, strengthen relationships and better understand team dynamics. As Hawkins notes, in team coaching “the primary client is the whole team, rather than the individual team members.” (Hawkins, 2017).

What is the process?

Engagements typically follow a clear and robust structure, including:

  • Commissioning

  • Clarifying

  • Co-creating

  • Connecting

  • Core learning

Delivered through a systemic and multi-disciplinary lens, team coaching recognises the impact of external stakeholders, organisational culture and strategic pressures, alongside the internal relationships and perspectives that shape how the team functions.

What areas might be explored?

  • Aligning vision, purpose and shared values.

  • Team identity and collective goals.

  • Roles, responsibilities and decision-making.

  • Resolving conflict and increasing mutual understanding.

  • Making effective and courageous choices.

  • Committing to sustainable change.

  • Improving communication and trust.

  • Identifying blind spots and unhelpful patterns.

  • Reaching – or surpassing – strategic goals.

Why choose team coaching rather than 1:1 coaching?

Team coaching offers a cost-effective and high-impact way to enhance performance, strengthen cohesion and accelerate collective learning. Rather than addressing issues in isolation, it enables teams to work directly with the dynamics that influence results. This shift is reflected in recent research: the ICF Global Coaching Study (2023) reports a continued increase in demand for team and group coaching, driven by organisations seeking greater agility, collaboration and systemic impact.
