Team Coaching International

What Team Coaching International does

Team Coaching International (TCI) is a privately held professional services and training firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Sausalito, California. The company specializes exclusively in team coaching methodology, offering the Certified Team Performance Coach (CTPC) credential, a portfolio of team assessment tools, and continuing education for practicing coaches. TCI serves three primary customer segments: individual coaches seeking a credentialed team-coaching specialty, HR/OD/L&D professionals in mid-to-large organizations, and executives or project leaders responsible for team performance. The company's historical enterprise client logos include Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Norgren, Cisco, Oracle, Microsoft, Bank of America, Capgemini, ING Bank, and the U.S. State Department, primarily through co-founder Phil Sandahl's prior consulting practice.

TCI's core technology is the Team Diagnostic Suite, a proprietary methodology built around an 80-question assessment that measures 14 factors across two dimensions — Productivity and Positivity — and produces aggregated team scores, productivity/positivity matrixes, polar diagrams, and response flow reports. The suite is extended by three complementary products: Team Leader View (TLV), which overlays leader self-perception with team results; Organization View, providing cross-team organizational diagnostics; and Team 360 View, a multi-rater feedback instrument. The methodology is codified in the published books Teams Unleashed and Co-Active Coaching, the latter co-authored by Phil Sandahl with over 100,000 copies in print across more than 10 languages. Delivery infrastructure includes the Team Coaching University (TCU), a lifetime digital library for graduates, and a Faculty Partnering Program that authorizes certified faculty to deliver TCI-branded courses inside organizations.

The business model is a hybrid of certification tuition, assessment subscriptions, and consulting services. Individual practitioners pay $2,495 for the Accelerated Learning blended course, which includes lifetime TCU membership and 20 ICF CCEUs. Enterprise engagements are quote-based, sold consultatively via calls with the Chief Coaching Officer. Distribution is asset-light: a global network of CTPC-certified independent coaches delivers team coaching engagements using TCI's tools, supplemented by a regional channel partnership in China under Jane Zhang. TCI's stated headcount is 1-10 employees, indicating reliance on a small core team leveraging its certified-coach network for global reach. No public revenue, funding, or ownership data is disclosed.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Coaches Training Institute (CTI): CTI is a foundational coach-training organization where Phil Sandahl was senior faculty; it offers Co-Active Coaching certification and shares the same Co-Active lineage as TCI, making it the closest direct peer in coach education.

Broad incumbents

• Center for Creative Leadership (CCL): CCL is a globally recognized leadership development provider offering team coaching, assessment, and executive programs; it overlaps directly with TCI's enterprise team-coaching value proposition but at substantially greater scale and broader portfolio.
• Marshall Goldsmith Partners: Marshall Goldsmith operates a leading executive and stakeholder-centered coaching practice and book brand endorsed alongside TCI's Teams Unleashed; it competes for the same senior executive coaching dollar and similar thought-leadership positioning.
• Ken Blanchard Companies: Blanchard delivers leadership and team training programs (e.g., SLII, Leading People Through Change) targeting the same enterprise HR/L&D buyers as TCI, with a much larger global training partner network.
• Korn Ferry: Korn Ferry is a global organizational consulting firm with leadership and team coaching practices serving enterprise clients including many on TCI's roster (e.g., J&J, P&G); it represents the scaled incumbent alternative for executive team coaching engagements.
• DDI (Development Dimensions International): DDI provides leadership development and team effectiveness assessments, training, and consulting; it competes for enterprise budgets on team diagnostics and high-potential leadership programs overlapping TCI's offering.
• FranklinCovey: FranklinCovey offers The 7 Habits, Leader in Me, and team-effectiveness workshops sold through a global facilitator network; it competes with TCI for corporate L&D spend on team development and leadership training.
• Gallup: Gallup sells the CliftonStrengths assessment and team-based engagement tools that compete for the same HR/L&D budget TCI targets with its Team Diagnostic suite; its scale, brand recognition, and integrated talent platform make it a major substitute.
• Wiley (Everything DiSC): Wiley's Everything DiSC suite, including DiSC and Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team, is a widely adopted team assessment alternative frequently purchased by HR and L&D departments in place of proprietary diagnostics like TCI's.

Emerging players

• Team Coaching Studio: Team Coaching Studio offers ICF-accredited team coach certification programs targeting the same coach-training buyer as TCI's CTPC, providing a more direct and emerging alternative in the team-coach certification niche.
