FAQ
Does team coaching overcome resistance to change?
Resistance often stems from fear or uncertainty. By working with emotion and relationship, you support everyone in the system in addressing underlying concerns, and foster buy-in to reduce resistance.
Does this course include change management?
Change management tends to be about implementing a plan. In contrast, ORSC cultivates a collaborative approach that empowers systems to recognize where change is needed and lead their own transformation.
While both approaches can be valuable depending on the situation, actively including teams in designing the process helps change initiatives to meet with success.
How does systems coaching help teams adapt?
When we work with the collective intelligence of the system, the team can recognize where change is needed and develop strategies to move through it. Alignment is a key coaching skill which recognizes shared purpose between different teams, fostering collaboration. Through coaching, teams discover how to move through the challenges of change on their own. We develop the ability to embrace new ideas and navigate the never-ending process of transformation.
