Team coaching in practice: ICF competencies compared with Ashridge's relational approach

Team coaching is evolving fast—but not all learning journeys, frameworks, or professional lenses are the same.

In this live webinar, Sally Jackson brings a valuable dual perspective:

  • as an Ashridge MSc. in Team Coaching alum, and
  • as an Associate Board Member and Master Certified Coach with the ICF.

Rather than promoting one route over another, Sally will compare and contrast the lived experience, philosophy, and practical implications of these two influential approaches—offering clarity for coaches, leaders, and organizations navigating the growing team coaching landscape.

This session is reflective, honest, and grounded in practice—designed to help you think more clearly about how different models shape how we show up as team coaches.

What will this session explore?

In this webinar, Sally will explore:

  • How the Ashridge master’s approach frames team coaching through relational, systemic, and inquiry-based learning

  • How the ICF’s professional standards and frameworks influence coaching identity, credibility, and global practice

  • Where the two perspectives align—and where they meaningfully differ

  • What these differences mean for (i) your development as a coach, (ii) your work with leadership teams, (iii) organisations seeking maturity in team coaching

  • Key reflections for anyone considering advanced study, accreditation, or deeper professional practice

Who is this webinar for?

This session will be especially valuable for:

  • Team coaches and executive coaches

  • Coaches considering advanced qualifications or accreditation

  • HR, OD, and L&D leaders working with leadership teams

  • Senior leaders curious about how team coaching really works

  • Anyone navigating the increasingly complex coaching ecosystem
