What is a Team Coach and Team Coaching?
TEAM COACH (noun)
A practitioner who applies the principles and techniques of professional coaching and possess a set of team coaching core competencies to assist a team of individuals develop the awareness, knowledge, and skills they need to better achieve their goals. Here is one set of core competencies created by Corentus.
Understanding Team Development Practices
After reading the results of the Finance division’s portion of the company’s annual employee survey, Renata – CFO of the organization and head of this division – knows she needs to call in an external professional to work with her Senior Leadership Team.
The Thinking Path
The CEO of a bottling company toured a plant whose employees were demoralized. The tour proved extremely successful, and the CEO’s approval of what he saw generated a visible lift of mood. Once the CEO had departed, the plant manager addressed the employees: “The boss really liked what he saw. He said it was the best he had ever seen. But why did you have the order of the products reversed in the coolers? It was embarrassing!” The employees’ mood instantly slumped.
Our Mini-Book: Introduction To Corentus Team Coaching- by Alexander Caillet and Amy Yeager
OUR GIFT TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE A PASSION FOR EFFECTIVE TEAMING
All of us at Corentus - especially Alexander and Amy - share their labor of love: Introduction to Corentus Team Coaching, for free, to the community of like-hearted people around the planet who have a passion for effective teaming.
Resilience Through Coherence Practice
During the summer of 2020, people around the world in four 30-minute calls where we shared what we hoped would give people a way to ease the stress and connect with like-hearted people around the planet. We did not record these sessions however we are sharing the slides from these calls that include our well-known Resilience through Coherence Practice called the 4-Step Method.
Thoughtful Changes To The Corentus Team Wheel
Over the past 20+ years, we’ve worked from a foundation of three complementary team frameworks. These frameworks provide a foundation for the majority of our work with teams including the basis for a wide range of practical tools we use every day with our clients. From time to time, we improve upon these frameworks in order to obtain the greatest impact on our clients.
Team Leadership Model
Effective leadership in today’s world requires leaders to adapt to complexity and change all while leading others in various states of teaming to accomplish results and have an impact within their organizations. We’ve found that leaders who understand the dimensions of teaming and are attuned to the ecosystem of their organization are better positioned to create the conditions for effective teaming.
An Introduction to State of Mind
We’ve spent nearly three decades, across five continents, coaching and consulting to leaders who are experiencing intense professional challenges—from extreme competitive pressures to mismanaged mergers and acquisitions. Throughout this work, we’ve observed a consistent link between leaders’ states of mind and their effectiveness, relationships, and performance. In particular, we’ve repeatedly witnessed the positive impact of higher states of mind and the adverse impact of lower states of mind. These observations inspired us to conduct more systematic research to validate and explore the patterns that seemed to be emerging.
Updated White Paper on State of Mind
In our recently edited and re-published white paper, we clarify the concept of state of mind and examine its impact on leadership effectiveness, relationships, and performance. We share data from our Global Leadership & State of Mind Study, which provides evidence of this impact, and we share insights from executives who understand the importance of state of mind and observe its effects every day. We also discuss practical solutions for shifting state of mind.
