Shared Presence: Co-Coaching in Systemic Team Coaching
Shared Presence: Co-Coaching in Systemic Team Coaching is a highly interactive session designed to bring the ICF competency of Presence to life through a systemic team coaching lens—while working with a co-coach. We will start by briefly framing what Presence looks like when you are holding not only yourself, but the relationships and dynamics in the room. Then, Ingela Camba and I will model a clear co-coaching agreement in real time, showing how co-coaches align roles, decision rules, and ways of coordinating while staying fully in service of the team.
From there, participants will observe a short live demonstration in a “team system,” using a simple observation lens to notice how presence, partnership, and system awareness show up moment by moment. The core of the workshop is practice: participants will work in pairs/triads to experience co-coaching firsthand, experiment with a few practical tools, and rehearse how to stay aligned when the energy rises or the system pulls the coaches in different directions. We will pause for short debriefs to harvest what created trust and safety, what strengthened presence, and what made the co-coaching partnership feel seamless.
Participants will leave with a practical structure they can adapt to their own co-coaching relationships, along with concrete takeaways they can apply immediately to co-coach teams with greater clarity, confidence, and impact.
