FAQ's

Who is Team Coaching Essentials for?

The Team Coaching Essentials (TCE) program is designed as a foundational program for coaches, leaders, and other professionals who already incorporate coaching in the workplace and want to deepen their knowledge, expand their toolkit, and strengthen their application of team coaching. As the first in a three-level progression, this introductory course offers a solid foundation with practical strategies that can be applied with teams immediately.

What will I learn through this program?

By taking this first step, you’ll strengthen your ability to engage with teams and guide them toward meaningful, measurable outcomes. Throughout the program, you will explore key areas of team coaching, including team dynamics, psychological safety, trust-building, conflict resolution, mindfulness practices, team and coach maturity, co-coaching, and effective contracting. You’ll leave equipped with practical tools and insights to apply immediately in your work with teams.

When and where does the program take place?

Your program begins in September 2025, and runs over a 14-week period. Sessions are held 2–3 times per month via Zoom, with each live session lasting 60-90 minutes. Can’t make a session? No problem—recordings will be available. The program includes a total of 8 live sessions filled with theory, application, tools, assessments, and guided outside learning. All content is developed and delivered by experienced, certified professionals from the Belem Institute.

What are the expectations for participation?

As a participant in this program, you are expected to fully engage in the learning experience. This includes showing up with openness, honesty, and respect, holding confidentiality, and being willing to step outside your comfort zone—to be curious, try new approaches, and explore new ways of thinking.

Between sessions, you’ll be asked to deepen your understanding of team coaching through curated external resources provided by the faculty.

Because much of the learning takes place in real time, attendance at a minimum of 80% of the live sessions is required. If you must miss a session, you’ll be expected to watch the recording and submit a brief reflection on your key takeaways to stay current with the group.

For Team coaching Essentials, no ‘team’ is required. In the upper level certifications, working with a practice, pro-bono, or paid team/teams during the program is a requirement .

Who is the certificate issued by?

The Team Coaching Essentials program certificate is issued by Belem LLC through the Belem Institute upon successful program completion. TCE is delivered by experienced team of global accredited team coaches. While Belem serves as its own certifying body, it is not affiliated with external certifying and credentialing organizations. You will receive a Certificate of Completion once all program requirements are completed.

Participants are encouraged to review their professional development goals, and if applicable, consult with their credentialing body to determine whether this program aligns with their specific certification or continuing education requirements.

Regardless of credentialing needs, we are confident that the insights, tools, and strategies gained through this program will bring meaningful value to your coaching practice and/or the teams you lead and/or support.

Our commitment to inclusivity & respect.

While Belem is rooted in Christian values, this program is open to and welcoming of individuals from all backgrounds— faith-based, or secular. We believe every person, regardless of belief system, deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, compassion, and care.

We are committed to creating a safe, trusting, and inclusive learning environment where enduring relationships can flourish.

As part of our practice, faculty will close sessions with a brief prayer, which participants have consistently found meaningful—even those who do not identify as spiritual. Participation is entirely optional. If you prefer not to stay, you are welcome to leave the Zoom session beforehand without explanation.
