Team coaching is its own discipline
A common mistake: treating team coaching as executive coaching with extra chairs.
It isn't.
Coaching an executive is bilateral work — coach and client, with the sponsor in the background. Coaching a team means coaching the team-as-system: a living entity with its own purpose, structure, culture and pathologies (Hawkins, 2017, Leadership Team Coaching; Clutterbuck, 2020, Coaching the Team at Work).
The interventions are different. The contracting is different. The success criteria are different. And the coach's own positioning — inside the system or outside, partner or third party — is constantly negotiated.
TAO3 is built around exactly that distinction. Six modules:
🔹 Transformational team coaching — choosing between TA, systemic, psychodynamic and behavioural frames
🔹 Working with purpose — multi-stakeholder contracting (Hackman, 2002; Sinek, 2009; Senge, 1990)
🔹 Creating agile structures — roles, decision rights, operating rhythms (Galbraith, 2002; Laloux, 2014)
🔹 Cross-functional cooperation — psychological safety and intergroup work (Edmondson, 2012)
🔹 Winning cultures — diagnosing and shifting team culture (Schein, 2010; Coyle, 2018)
🔹 Accreditation and evaluation — building your ITCA portfolio
Five international cohorts: Poznań · Rome · Bangalore · Edinburgh · Athens (Sept 2026 – Nov 2027).
