FAQ's
Who is Team Coaching Essentials for?
What will I learn through this program?
When and where does the program take place?
Your program begins January 2026, 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?
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?
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.
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.
