After weeks of personal study and 60 hours of intensive, late-night zoom sessions, yesterday I was certified as a Team Transformation Professional Coach through Team Transformation. Thank you so much, Dr. Haris, for sharing your expertise! When leaders really know how to coach individuals and teams, it can empower, engage and ennoble – key ingredients for outstanding performance.
Thank you, Dr. Haris Syed, for the thorough and well-organized team transformation coaching training. The material was interesting, and the discussions truly inspiring. I particularly enjoyed the practical exercises with fellow cohorts where we role-played real-life situations. These supported the learning experience, and Dr. Haris is a master in his field. I felt privileged to learn from one of the best, and I am looking forward to putting my learning experience into practice.
I think the training gives me the opportunity to understand groups and group dynamics better, helps me to perform better as a Leader. The impact I can have on processes is limited, but the impact I can have on people is unlimited.
It was amazing to see how all the theories that we had learned from the start of the course came together in a very practical way. I saw mastery. I experienced mastery. And at the end of it all, I knew that I had gained more knowledge about team coaching. My curiosity turned into appreciation and fulfillment.
The most special thing of this class was that we perceived ourselves as a team. We came from different backgrounds but with the same purpose and a strong will to grow together. We respected, cared for, and cooperated with each other.
