Penguin Team Coaching Methodologies

Organization and Relationships Systems Coaching (ORSC)

is an integrated and robust team coaching model created by CRR Global and embraced by Penguin Team Coaching which is based on Relationship Systems Intelligence. Beyond Emotional Intelligence (relationship with oneself) and Social Intelligence (relationship with others) is the realm of Relationship Systems Intelligence where one’s focus shifts to the relationship with the group, team or system. This approach creates sustainable and resilient teams, organizations, and families. ORSC enables team members to make the paradigm shift from individuals to the entire group, creating a sense of oneness that is driven by a winning outcome. ORSC is based on Systems Theory, Process Work, Family Systems Therapy, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Quantum Physics, Co-Active Coaching, and more. At its core is the study of Relation Systems Intelligence.

Psychological Safety

What does psychological safety in a team 
mean to you? Why does it matter?

Psychological safety refers to an environment where team members feel safe to take interpersonal risks, share their thoughts and ideas openly, and express themselves authentically without fear of judgment or reprisal. Psychological Safety serves as the bedrock upon which trust, collaboration, and innovation thrive. When team members feel psychologically safe, they are more likely to engage in constructive dialogue, contribute diverse perspectives, and challenge the status quo. This environment of trust and openness contributes to a culture where individuals can learn from each other, express emotions, address conflicts productively, and ultimately, perform at their best. By integrating psychological safety into teams with varying cultures, power dynamics and structures (such as remote working) Penguin Team Coaching methodologies enhance positive team dynamics and success for all types of organizations.

„The Vulnerable Humanitarian“

Humanitarian staff often work long hours in risky and stressful conditions. According to the research carried out by Dr Liza Jachens, aid workers are subject to burnout, mental illness, and negative coping mechanisms in some cases at more than double or triple the rates of the general population. Surprisingly, Jachens has found this phenomenon to be more linked to organisational stressors than to operational stressors. In today’s operational climate, humanitarian organisations have a duty of care to promote their national and international staff’s mental and physical well-being and avoid their long-term exhaustion, burnout, injury and illness. Penguin Team Coaching methods includes a preventative strategy that helps mitigate the impact of these organizational dysfunctionalities by developing healthier ways of working, clarifying roles and responsibilities and binding teams with aligned common goals, all whilst raising the level of care given by leaders and between team members.
