Description

Tailored In-House Coaching: Framing, Designing and Evaluating the Engagement

Design a team coaching engagement that starts from the team's real situations rather than from a catalogue

  • 2 days — 14 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Intermediate
  • Up to 6 participants

Requests for coaching support often arrive in vague terms: the team lacks cohesion, people have stopped communicating. Behind these formulations lie disagreements over roles, decisions that were never settled, or workload that is unevenly shared. Launching an offsite without a diagnosis treats the symptom only.

This short programme, delivered in-person or virtually, equips you to design a tailored coaching engagement. You conduct the framing interview with the sponsor, turn an unclear request into a workable objective, select the appropriate formats and define the indicators that will show whether the engagement produced an effect.

Learning objectives

  • Conduct the framing interview with the sponsor and reformulate the request
  • Distinguish what belongs to team coaching from what belongs to management
  • Select working formats suited to the maturity of the group
  • Establish a confidentiality framework accepted by participants
  • Define verifiable outcome indicators to be reviewed at the end of the engagement

What makes this programme different

A framing interview practised through to the written formulation of the request
A decision grid for choosing between team coaching, co-development and team regulation
A reporting template that separates what can be shared from what remains confidential

Programme

1Clarifying the request

What the sponsor says and what the sponsor expects

  • Decoding a request expressed in terms of cohesion
  • Identifying the sponsor, the budget holder and the beneficiaries
  • Distinguishing relational difficulty from an organisational problem
  • Formalising a three-way coaching agreement

2Designing the engagement

Choosing the formats before choosing the tools

  • Sequencing the engagement and spacing out the sessions
  • Balancing group sessions and one-to-one interviews
  • Adapting the design to in-person and virtual delivery
  • Setting the confidentiality framework and the group ground rules

3Delivering and evaluating

Holding the framework and reporting back

  • Managing tensions and silences during sessions
  • Handling resistance and repeated absences
  • Measuring effects against the indicators defined upfront
  • Organising the report-back to the sponsor without betraying the group
