Less Is Definitely More

Time and time again through my own programs, and hearing about coaches and trainers speak about theirs, I am reminded that Less is Definitely More when it comes to group coaching or any other type of group program. Back in March I wrote about the 80/20 rule , which I wanted to resurrect again (unfortunately due to Blogger's capabilities it is now buried in the archives).

In short, the 80/20 rule encourages you to take a look at your overall content for a group coaching program, and to carve out and put aside at least 20% of your content. This material can become part of a follow-up program for that group of participants, or part of another product (for example, an e-course or a retreat program).

Think back to recent group programs you have run. Where would you rate your amount of content? Too much, too little, just right? What's the impact on the group when you have too much content? Overwhelm? Lack of time to really dig into the topics? Lack of engagement because too much is being covered?

My request this week is to ask you to take a look at what you are going to cover in an upcoming program. Apply the 80/20 rule and see what the impact is on the group you are working with! I'd love to hear your experience with the 80/20 rule - feel free to comment.

Warmly,
Jennifer
