Belbin Team Coaching Programme

Team Coaching: support teams to survive and thrive in a constantly changing environment

The Belbin Accredited Team Coaching Programme has been developed to help participants understand how to curate team growth, learning and better business performance.

This exciting new programme applies a 'learning by doing' approach and is designed for those looking to expand their skills and gain professional accreditation in the emerging area of Team Coaching.

The unique 9-month programme focusses on how to ‘be’ a team coach. It is delivered via 3 face-to-face learning elements (CoLabs) with online 1:1 support and group sessions in-between.

What is Team Coaching?

The Association for Coaching® (AC) defines Team Coaching as:

“The application of coaching skills while working with a whole, intact team over time to improve inter-dependent members’ abilities to work together collaboratively to achieve the team’s collective purpose, potential and performance.”

Unique to this programme: option for fast-track route to further coaching qualifications

In conjunction with the Association for Coaching, delegates who successfully pass this programme will have the option to 'fast-track' to an individual accreditation of either Accredited Team Practitioner or Accredited Team Coach.

"The value of creating a learning team, who identify areas to work on and support each other to find answers is very powerful.
My coaching cohort have been an inspiration to me, and I draw lots of positive energy from them."

Tracey Zimmermann (Cohort 1)

"The key thing for me was learning to distinguish between team facilitation and team coaching and understanding when to apply each approach for maximum impact. I have gained more confidence in adopting more of a team coaching mindset—encouraging the team to solve their own problems rather than providing solutions myself."

Anthony O'Hara (Cohort 1)
