Postgraduate Certificate in Team Coaching
Team coaching is becoming an increasingly popular discipline, and many experienced coaches are returning to study new theories and models so they can add team coaching to their coaching practice.
This series of workshops will develop your confidence and skills as a team coach. It will deepen your understanding and ability to intervene with teams and groups and therefore increase the impact on your organisational clients.

Programme Overview
During this programme, you will gain a sound understanding of the roles and challenges of being a team coach. You will also integrate theory on group dynamics and team coaching into your practice. Over the course of the module you will deepen your awareness and insight into group process and team development.
You will learn to recognise and appreciate derailment and under performance in teams, be aware of the impact and meaning of various forms of 'group think' and 'scapegoating'; and you will find ways to respond to and contain such 'dark side dynamics' in teams. Finally you will develop your ability to make judgments about when and how to intervene in a team.
This is a flexible programme suitable for those who are beginning their coaching journey, as well as more experienced coaches wishing to expand their practice. It is a stand-alone course with optional accreditation process, after which you can progress to the Masters in Executive Coaching (Team Coaching Stream).
We believe that team coaching is, more than anything else, stimulating reflection within the team we work with. It's all about helping teams to reflect better.

Ashridge Coaching Philosophy
At Ashridge we see coaching as a relational practice. While we take it as read that serving our clients is the primary task of a coaching relationship, we have a particular perspective on the nature of this relationship. We take the view that the relationship between coach and client is at the heart of effective coaching and is, therefore, the central vehicle for learning and change. We see this as a mutual and co-creating relationship rather than a remedial contract to solve a problem.
Our Coaching Faculty
Our coaching and supervision faculty are highly experienced organization consultants and executive coaches and supervisors. Many are also experienced psychotherapists and bring their relational and Gestalt approaches to our coaching programs.
All of our faculty continually research and publish articles and books etc and are passionate about contributing to the continued growth of the coaching industry.
