The Power of Team Coaching

Organisations are increasingly aware of the extent to which their efficacy and success depends upon their teamwork. In this conversation with executive and team coach Kimberley Parsons we explore the scope and process of team coaching, decoding norms in the ecosystem, key issues that teams struggle with, and harnessing collective intelligence.

Team coaching, like any coaching, is all about making the invisible, visible. It’s about increasing awareness to open up more possibilities. Teams are ecosystems, so the individual is a system within a system (within the system of the organisation). Understanding and working with these nested systems is part of what makes team coaching so exciting.
