Program details

In partnership with Clutterbuck Coaching and Mentoring International (CCMI), we present the Senior Practitioner Program. Offering the next phase for Team Coaches who want to become professional Team Coaches or work regularly with teams and groups, this program aims to ensure competency and confidence by extending coaching approaches to helping teams become more effective, ultimately developing the capability to coach themselves. This program builds on learning from the Team Coaching Practitioner program (or equivalent/bridging program) and aims to embed Team Coaching within both the practitioner and the team.

Course Commitments and Assessments

 

  • Participants will need two teams to practice on throughout the program and a general expectation of 4 sessions per team to be accredited. – this can be with a team you’re already coaching, a not-for-profit team, an agile team or pro-bono work with a new team such as a school, church committee, etc.  The team does not need to be a ‘typical’ paying client, rather a team that will benefit from your learning on how to Team Coach; preferably with a Co-coach.

  • Co-coaching – it is preferred that Team Coaching takes place alongside a Co-coach on your or their team to practice. There will be opportunities for you to pair up with someone from the course to practice co-coaching,  if enrolling without a partner.

  • Essay and Assignment – there will be a short answer assignment and essay required to be submitted as part of the program.  This will be based on your experiences captured in your reflective journal examining yourself as a Team Coach.  This needs to include at least one Team Coaching engagement where you applied the techniques, models, and tools from the program.

  • Case study development - you will be required to submit 3 case studies on teams you’ve previously or are currently team coaching. You will share the cases with other students to collectively learn how to approach these scenarios, and receive feedback, support and/or supervision.

  • Preparatory work between sessions – there will be approximately 1 – 2 hours of preparatory work required between course sessions, alongside any agreed time with your learning group.

  • To be accredited by the EMCC at Individual Team Coach Award (ITCA) Senior Practitioner level, you will need to have coached 3 or more teams. To be accredited by the ICF at Advanced Certification in Team Coaching (ACTC) level, you will need to have coached 5 or more teams over the last 5 years.
