Team Coaching Lab

”Team Coaching is the fastest growing market withing the rapidly growing world of coaching. 

The purpose of team coaching is to enable a team to co-create greater beneficial value, with and for, all their stakeholders.” according to the Global Team Coaching Institute. 

Teams are increasingly required to be more agile and work with more stakeholders. Constantly changing their focus and personnel, team and their leaders face unprecedented challenges.


The Team Coaching LAB programme is all about experiencing the process of team coaching on yourself. However, it is underpinned by various theories and research findings on team effectiveness, leadership, communication, cooperation. 

When proposing exercises and structures, we actively draw on the achievements of, among others, cognitive psychology, positive psychology, process-oriented psychology, action learning, the work of Arnold Mindell, Alan Seal, Otto Scharmer, Patrick Lencioni, The Gottman Institute and others. 

Participants are also encouraged to expand their knowledge and explorations through inspirational reading.

There are three ways in which the participants can integrate the learning, depending on their familiarity with the subject:

Joanna Zawada

For 13 years, in the company of great people - coaches, trainers and clients, I have been deepening, discovering and opening myself to everything related to cooperation, building relationships, communication and leadership. I am fascinated by the extraordinary synergy of psychology, psychobiology, quantum physics and combining ancient wisdom with NASA innovation.

For more than 13 years, inspired by the co-active leadership of Karen and Henry Kimsey-House, Alan Seal's Transformative Presence approach, Theory U and Dialogue initiated by MIT scientists, and mystical spiritual paths, I have treated steps of all sizes on the way to discovering consciousness, presence and dialogue. These 3 key words are the foundation of our work in organizations. 

We live in a world of "quick wins", the use of force and pills for everything, the side effects of which are often more dangerous than the condition itself. We do not serve pills for success. We take you on a journey that will allow you to see something more: to transcend what hinders and create interventions that serve and last. Our activities may not necessarily be slow food - but certainly real food. We invite those who feel the shiver of excitement at the thought of going on a journey to cooperate with us. Deep doesn't mean hard - rather true. To quote Joseph Campbell - "in the cave you will find your treasure" I believe that the journey creates a hero. So I invite you to travel!

”I am deeply grateful for everything I experienced in Team Coaching Lab.

From the very beginning, I felt a profound sense of togetherness that created a safe and inviting atmosphere for all participants. The program's unique blend of emotion, structure, and creative energy allowed us to engage deeply with one another, fostering genuine connections that go beyond traditional teamwork.

One of the most impactful aspects was learning to manage the energy of a group effectively. Through various activities, I was able to observe firsthand how the flow of energy can change within a team. I discovered how to recognize and harness different emotional dynamics, facilitating discussions that were not only productive but also energizing.

In team coaching every voice matter and this inclusivity sparks a sense of joy and belonging that is often hard to find in a typical work environment.

In conclusion, this program has equipped me with invaluable skills and insights into teamwork and collaboration. Also, the bonds formed and lessons learned stayed with me long after the program has concluded.

Participating in this program was a transformative experience.”

Simona Guffrroy - Project Leader


*******************************

”For me, the Team Coaching LAB programme was a valuable introduction to the world of coaching. 

I initially joined this training before starting my business coaching diploma journey, and it proved to be a well-timed starting point. 

The programme combined practical experience with solid theoretical foundations, offering many 'Aha!' moments and insights like, 'I can use this immediately—this isn't just a nice-to-have tool.'

This programme not only broadened my understanding of team dynamics but also provided actionable strategies I could implement the very next day. Whether you're new to coaching or experienced in the field, this training is a worthwhile resource for anyone looking to grow in team coaching. Highly recommended!”

Raluca Sava - Business Unit Manager

 

Edition 2

”Happy to graduate from the Team Coaching Lab Program, 2024 Spring edition! 

I highly recommend this program for 2 main reasons. First, is the sructured and practical approach, after graduation you already have practiced an example of a real life team coaching program that you have to deliver in front of the trainers that supervise your performance and make you sugestions and directions of improvements. Second one is that you experience every single exercise/theory by yourself in the team formed with the other training participants, you are part of a team.  On the road there are many other sparks in the form of deep reflections and up to date theories like third entity, positive psihology or deep democracy, just to name few of the lighting concepts. 

Grateful fort the wisdom, knowledge and especially,  practise!”



Elena Manea - Organisational Effectiveness Coach
