Core Competencies Summit with Katya Talavera de Ward, PCC

Beyond 1:1: Bringing the ICF Core to Team Coaching

This session offers a practical, systemic perspective on using the 8 ICF Core Competencies in team coaching—where the client is the team. We’ll show how the Core shows up with teams and clarify what the Team Coaching Competencies add: multi-stakeholder agreements, a team alliance, systemic listening, in-the-moment pattern work, supervision, and the role of a co-coach. We’ll also explore when and why to work with a co-coach—expanded system sensing, parallel processing, stronger psychological safety, real-time bias-checking, and clearer boundary calls—so the team owns its learning and results.

We’ll close with an at-a-glance view of the ACTC credential—and share the simple preparation approach I used, so you can adapt it to your context.
