Master the art of presence-based team coaching

Enable teams to create lasting transformation with an advanced AC & ICF Certified Diploma programme personally designed and hosted by TCS Founder Georgina Woudstra MCC, ACTC

Unlike more generic team coaching programmes that simply teach frameworks, Georgina’s uniquely designed diploma takes you on a profound journey of self-discovery. 

In this high-support, high-challenge environment, you’ll integrate powerful frameworks while transcending them—developing the presence and wisdom to work with whatever emerges in the moment.

Graduates of Georgina’s program don’t just apply techniques—they develop a unique way of being-team-coach that catalyzes profound, sustainable change within teams and organisations.

“You seamlessly created a sense of team in our group online, enabling us to connect with each other deeper than I thought was possible. 

I found my team coaching ‘home’ in way of working, and I have felt more in the moment/present/grounded in my work since then.

I got so much from the Diploma, and more has settled with me over these past few months, thank you.”

Alison, 2023 Diploma Grad

Master the skills organisations are increasingly seeking

How often have the leaders you coach shared that their real challenges exist at the team level? 

How much more of an impact could you make if you could confidently offer to coach their teams as well? 

Organisations are rapidly recognising that team coaching creates deeper, more sustainable transformation than individual coaching alone. By mastering emergent team coaching with TCS, you’ll:

  • Differentiate your practice in an increasingly competitive market
  • Command premium rates for high-value team engagements
  • Create broader organisational impact that exec sponsors recognise
  • Address the root causes of the challenges your individual clients face daily

 

You’ll develop  skills through intensive practice and experiential learning—not just theory. This practical mastery creates the confidence to work emergently, responding to what’s actually happening in the room rather than forcing predetermined processes. 

Georgina has spent two decades perfecting this approach, and now passes this distinctive capability directly to her Diploma students. Graduates don’t just add a credential—they gain a powerful new dimension to their coaching practice that clients increasingly demand. 

“I liked the ethos of the fact that it was emergent. You don’t take a team through a process. 

It’s about being in the room with the team and dealing with what comes up and creating that
space for the team to deal with it themselves”

Emily Jones

“You have helped us all find our voices as team coaches, underpinned by a rich and robust philosophy.

You have pulled together so many concepts, philosophies and perspectives into a meaningful and practical approach.

It has been a deep learning experience for which I will be forever grateful.”

– Alana Jossel

Certification and Accreditation

 Thanks to the pioneering work TCS Founder, Geogina Woudstra has done for the Team Coaching discipline over the past two decades, our Diploma programme was one of the first to be accredited for the ICF Advanced Certification in Team Coaching (ACTC).

Once you have fulfilled the programme requirements for attendance, participation and submissions, you will be awarded the Diploma in Emergent Team Coaching.

This will give you all the training hours and observed practice that  you need to apply for your ICF Advanced Certification in Team Coaching ACTC or your AC AMTC. We also have supervision packages that students can opt into, priced from £497.

More details can be found on the ICF website or the Association for Coaching website

TEAM COACHING STUDIO COURSES ARE ACCREDITED BY

Who are your Team Coaching Diploma leaders?

The Team Coaching Studio was founded to provide a pathway to professional accreditation and mastery for coaches. 

We give you the knowledge and confidence to be a catalyst for change and progress, as together we shift from doing team coaching to being team coaches.

Our CEO and Principal Georgina Woudstra, MCC and International Faculty Lead, Allard de Jong, have been pivotal in the team coaching movement from its inception, to discipline accreditation. 

In 2022 Georgina & Allard became amongst the first coaches in the world to be awarded the ICF Advanced Certification in Team Coaching (ACTC). 

 

“The TCS Diploma difference is that it is so personal, it’s that Georgina and Allard are doing it personally”

– Maha Alusi

After your journey through the Team Coaching Diploma you will be able to…
Feeling ready, but still got a question?

It is ideal for executive coaches, OD professionals, facilitators, and consultants who want to provide a high quality and impactful team coaching service. Already done some team coach training but still not feeling confident in the room? This is perfect for you too.

While other Team Coaching Diplomas focus on methodologies and frameworks, our Diploma goes deeper.

We have many years of experience in this discipline and understand that a coach’s true skill is to ‘stand in the heat’ and observe the dynamics of a group, as they play out in front of you.

It can be scary not to try to fix the problem, particularly when the team turns to you for answers.

Our Diploma has been designed to give you the confidence to use yourself as an instrument, so you can make the shift from facilitation to true team coaching. Whatever your background, learning these skills will benefit your whole practice.

Typically after you’ve completed the Diploma, just getting one Team Coaching assignment will more than cover your investment.

In addition, Team Coaching can help coaches to build a much more substantial business.

Coaching 10 one-to-one clients at, say £3-5k per client, is very different to coaching 5 teams at, say, £20k each!

You’ll see a return in other ways too, as you embark on a transformative journey to greatly improve your confidence in working alongside teams of any size and level, and find the courage to take on new challenges.

We ask that applicants:

  • have experience of working with groups and/or teams.
  • have a good understanding of the core competencies of coaching and be able to demonstrate these competencies in your practice
    • for those with formal coach training, these are defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the Association for Coaching (AC) or those another credible coaching professional body
    • for those who are not formally trained coaches, you may have developed similar skills through other professional routes like counselling, psychology or leadership development
  • have completed or be willing to complete the e-learning course Team Coaching Fundamentals and read Mastering the Art of Team Coaching by Georgina Woudstra. Both are included in the Diploma programme materials.
  • where you are new to TCS, be willing (if we decide necessary) to engage in a short call with faculty to ensure you are the right fit for the programme

You will be part of a small, multicultural cohort . Your programme will be run by TCS faculty, led by TCS Founder Georgina Woudstra (MCC/ACTC) and TCS Faculty

We aim for a student to host ratio of 1:8

As well as the advertised zoom dates for taught modules, practicums and final presentations we recommend you set aside:

  • 1 hour per week for the duration of the programme for your small team activities.
  • 1 hour per week for the duration of the programme for personal reflective practice and to complete your assignments.
  • Time as agreed with your small team for your team project work.
 
You will also need to coach a real time for 3 x 90 minute sessions. You have up until 1 year after the final live learning session to find and work with a team and submit your case study on this work.
 

For an additional cost, you are also invited to opt into one of our supervision packages to access five hours of supervision with a competent team coaching supervisor

We ask that all participants read Georgina’s book, “Mastering the Art of Team Coaching” and compete the self guided e-learning programme Team Coaching Fundamentals. TCF takes approximately 12 hours to complete.

You are also required to read and digest the Diploma Handbook and the code of ethics provided by your coaching professional body. 

All pre-reading is contained within the resources section of your private online space for your cohort.

You will integrate your learning by coaching a real-life client team. This will form the material for your team coaching case study essay, as well as support your development by applying your learning to a real-life team.  This might be paid work, a team in your organisation or completed pro bono. You are required to coach a real work team for a minimum of 3 x 90-minute sessions. You have until 1 year after the final live online learning session to find and work with a team and submit your case study.

The programme cohort will be organised into small teams (sub-groups within the cohort). Each team is charged with undertaking a small team project, with the goal of making a contribution to the profession.

The Diploma is accredited for the new ICF Advanced Accreditation in Team Coaching (AATC).

For ICF accredited coaches, it means that you will have a straightforward, simple education path towards achieving your advanced certification (ACTC).

The Diploma has also been awarded the AC’s Accredited Diploma in Team Coach Training (ADTCT). Once you have the required team coaching experience, you will be able to apply for Accredited Master Team Coach (AMTC), the highest level of team coaching credential available.

Graduates can opt in to our supervision package to achieve the 5 hours supervision that the ICF requires as part of ACTC.

You are expected to attend, and fully participate in, all sessions and modules.  

We understand that life happens so in exceptional circumstances, you may miss up to two sessions and still be awarded your Diploma. This is on the proviso that you watch the recordings and submit a reflection piece. Attendance at the first and final live online sessions is mandatory for program completion.

Please note, missing more than 30 minutes of any one session constitutes a missed session.

We periodically run early bird discounts. Please enquire on your application for any discounts we are currently running.

It is important to us, to you and your cohort that the Diploma is the right fit for you.

To learn more you are able to drop us an email, attend and intro, call a senior faculty member or arrange a conversation with a Diploma Grad.

Be in the top 2% of Masterful Team Coaches in the World

With the Team Coaching Diploma, you’ll get a pathway to professional accreditation with the two largest coaching professional bodies (ICF & AC).

“It’s often said that the journey to becoming a coach is as much a journey of self-discovery as anything else, and I can certainly relate to that as I reflect on many learnings and experiences along the way that have shifted the way I think, feel and behave. 

The most profound of these has unquestionably been the Team Coaching Diploma. 

My aim in taking the Diploma was to increase in my understanding of teams, how they work, and how to coach them; I was expecting a suite of tools and approaches, some academic underpinnings and a few tips along the way. 

I got all of these and so much more. My coaching is more grounded in who I am and where I find my purpose, my understanding of presence and how to deploy it has increased significantly, and my confidence to ’sit in the fire’ amid the chaos has grown. 

The experience curated by Georgina and her team has impacted not just my work as a team coach, but I feel its effect across all of my work, and indeed beyond”

– Andy Fryer
