Exponential change and greater stakeholder complexity call for new forms of leadership development that can create learning at individual, team and organisational level.

Based on Professor Peter Hawkins’ established and proven research, methodologies and training you will gain the skills, experience and knowledge to work as an AoEC qualified systemic team coach.
How to apply the Hawkins’ Five Disciplines Model – you will work with a real-life client case study as part of the programme in order to gain experience of how this coaching model is applied in a real world client setting with support and supervision from both your fellow course participants and an experienced faculty team.
About who you are as a team coach – you will develop your own signature presence as you craft your own model of systemic team coaching and supporting marketing statement.
How to work confidently when coaching client teams – you will gain confidence, presence, authority and resilience when contracting and working with teams at all levels.

How you learn
The programme runs over 14 days during a 14-18 month period and comprises two and three day modules which are held approximately 12 weeks apart to maintain momentum. This time frame includes completing the Systemic Team Coaching ® Certificate programme which also doubles as the first module of the fuller diploma programme.
You will explore and discuss the practice of systemic team coaching and the research and theory which underpins it.
You will practise key skills and supervision through team coaching with your peers, by working with the dynamics of the learning community, by using the Team Connect 360 diagnostic tool and by arranging a team coaching case study with a client.
The programme uses its large group experience with observations and comments from the faculty team who will openly discuss the process.
Personal development comes through being a participant on the programme and examining the process of being in it, while going through it and from the final assessment.
You will learn from individual tutorials and a final assessment viva.
