Systemic Team Coaching

At Chambers & Associates, we partner with senior leaders and teams through systemic team coaching to align strategy, strengthen collaboration, and deliver sustainable results across the whole organization.

What is Systemic Team Coaching?

Systemic Team Coaching is "a process by which a team coach works with a whole team to help them improve their collective leadership and performance while effectively engaging with their key stakeholder groups to jointly transform the wider business."

Key principles of Systemic Team Coaching include:

Focus on the team as a whole system, not just individual members.
Emphasis on stakeholder engagement and value creation.
Integration of internal team dynamics with external relationships/impact.
Consideration of team role within the larger organizational ecosystem.

"Working with Michelle was a key step in our journey as a newly formed Leadership Team. Her coaching helped us align around a shared purpose, strengthen accountability, and build the trust and collaboration needed to deliver on our business objectives. The tools Michelle provided, while creating a safe and engaging space, allowed us to tackle tough issues, accelerate decision-making, and ultimately function as a higher performing team. We are now better positioned to achieve our business goals while inspiring our people."

Iain McOustra, General Manager, Operations, Canada, Royal Unibrew

The Six Levels of Team Coaching

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Michelle is “professional competence.” The second thing that comes to mind is, “She has a great laugh.” Those two may sound like an incompatible combination but I assure you it’s what makes her such a successful trainer, team coach, and OD practitioner. In our work with teams we emphasize two crucial dimensions: Productivity and Positivity and Michelle is a living example of the powerful interrelationship of the two.
