FAQs for Team Coaching
What is team coaching?
Team coaching is a collaborative process that helps a group of individuals work more effectively as a team. It focuses on improving communication, alignment, trust and collective performance. In addition, team coaching using ORSC™ (Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching) views the team as a living system—more than just the sum of its individuals. It focuses on the health, dynamics, and collective intelligence of the whole team, helping teams function more consciously and collaboratively.
How is it different from team building or training?
Traditional methods often focus on individuals or quick fixes. ORSC-based team coaching goes deeper—it addresses underlying team dynamics, communication patterns, and relationship health, creating long-term, systemic impact rather than temporary boosts. Team coaching also works with real-time team dynamics and challenges to enhance how the team thinks, relates and works together to achieve a common goal.
Who is it for?
Team coaching is ideal for project teams, leadership teams, and especially cross-functional teams that need to align across silos, manage complexity and deliver shared outcomes.
What happens during team coaching?
The coach partners with the entire team system. Sessions may include deep listening, systemic constellations, alignment exercises, and real-time coaching on relational dynamics. The team learns to self-regulate, reflect, and evolve together—not just as individuals, but as a unified system.
What’s the leader’s role in this process?
As a leader, you are part of the system—not above or outside it. Coaching supports you in being a conscious participant who fosters clarity, openness, and shared leadership—helping your team thrive without carrying the burden alone.
How long does a team coaching engagement last?
It depends on your goals and context. Some teams benefit from a few targeted sessions; others engage over several months to support transformation through key phases of a project or organizational change. Your coach will co-create a process with you that aligns with your team's goals and pace.
