The 3 Reasons Why Team Coaching Is Exciting

1. The “sticky” factor 

The kind of team coaching I do not only works, it keeps working. It sticks. Why? Because the coaching happens throughout actual meetings in the client’s business. My questions are asked as discussions are happening, and resolutions are reached, or issues addressed, in real time. It’s not only practical learning, it’s learning that is directly applicable to what you are already doing. My clients start to see results quickly, and I know the acquired skills will continue to make a difference—even years later. I’m coaching while they are working, and it’s exciting to work on problems as they happen. 

2. It marries individual coaching, with organizational consulting

There is a gap between my services in executive coaching and managing organizational change. Certainly many executive coaches know it takes a strong leader to guide an organization through major changes, but they are not really experts in organizational change. Meanwhile change consultants often advise forming an executive team to accomplish the change, but are not able to help that team function. Team coaching addresses the need for a strong leader and a high functioning executive team during organizational change. I have been an executive coach and a change consultant, and getting to bring them together is very rewarding. These are my two of my passions, together at last. Being on the forefront of a new way of coaching is an exciting position to be in.

3. I get to keep learning

With team coaching, I can leverage my years of experience in a way that benefits everyone at the table. I get to learn and grow with every team I work with. This is the kind of job that is always challenging—it’s never routine because no team, and no organization is the same. It’s always interesting, and always rewarding.
