Join Dr. Krister Lowe and leading organizational coach Erin Hutchins for this week’s episode of The Team Coaching Zone Podcast. Erin is the Director of Corporate Client Solutions and Organizational Coaching for the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) based in Washington DC. She is a Professional Certified Co-Active Coach (CPCC), is Credentialed with the ICF (PCC Level), is a CTI Leadership Graduate, and is Leadership Circle Certified. Erin is passionate about heightening awareness, aligning your mind + body + soul, and inspiring transformational change through connecting with your authentic self and purpose. She has travelled and worked across various cultures in Europe and Asia. In this episode of the podcast, Erin provides an overview of the Co-Active Relationship Engine--a model useful for guiding team coaching engagements--and also takes listeners on a deep dive into one critical element of the Relationship Engine called "Designed Alliance." Designed Alliance involves helping the team establish a strong foundation upon which four aspects of team coaching can then unfold: 1. Take Responsibility, 2. Choose, 3. Align, 4. Commit. Erin shares stories from her own team coaching experience and how designing a strong alliance up front sets the conditions for successful team coaching engagements.
