Strengths-based team coaching: A positive psychological intervention to enhance well-being and performance at work

Abstract

Coaching at the workplace is increasingly being used as a tool to develop personal resources, optimize wellbeing and facilitate job performance. Specifically, to achieve positive outcomes, organizations need to reinforce the development and effectiveness of team-based structures to get these positive outcomes. In that sense, the Strengths-based Team Coaching program was designed to support the team’s goal setting and achievement through the development of an action plan based on the identification and use of personal strengths. The program lasts for a period of three months and is delivered in four group coaching sessions. In this manual, the structure of the program and content of each session are described, followed by a case report which is used as a practical example.
