Systemic Team Coaching®
PHQ takes a systemic approach
Systemic team coaching is a process by which a team coach works in partnership with a whole team, both when they are together and when they are apart, in order to help them both improve their collective performance and how they work together, and also how they develop their collective leadership to more effectively engage with all their key stakeholder groups to jointly transform the wider business and co-create value for all their stakeholders.
(Hawkins, 2011)

Thank you for the progress you are driving in us – and in relationship deepening, and all that is coming out of that”.
PHQ’s work has had a dramatic positive impact on team performance through their ability to use strong evidence based methods that in a team setting, have created the necessary trust and safety to surface the real team issues and to enable genuine feedback to occur - both between myself and the team and peer to peer.”
Through a series of workshops PHQ challenged the team repeatedly and appropriately. The team had a “light bulb” moment and felt comfortable talking about the major issues in an open and honest fashion. At this point, the team was finally able to get to its purpose and produce a plan of action, with broad based support and a sense of much-needed direction. The sense of relief was tangible.”

Frequently asked questions
We are a professional services firm specialising in Executive/Team Coaching, Team Development and Board & C-Suite consultancy.
PHQ specialises in Performance Coaching for senior executives, CEOs and Board Directors.
Most of the team coaching taking place within organisations focuses exclusively on a team’s internal ways of working.
Systemic team coaching does this however it also examines the influences outside of the team group that affect performance. It gives teams the skills and self-awareness to work at depth across the whole organisation, with a more collaborative, stakeholder-orientated focus and a much greater understanding of their overarching purpose.
Our services are bespoke and tailored specifically to client need. We build and craft practical programs that always have a direct link to the business-critical requirements of the organisation.
PHQ continues its ongoing candidate care process into a post-appointment phase. This is a unique point of difference compared to our competitors. We utilise our executive development experience to provide monthly one-on-one catch up/coaching calls as candidates progress through the first 100 days and beyond.
