What Goes into a Group Coaching Proposal?

I often get asked by coaches "What should I include in a group coaching proposal for organizations"? Here's an excerpt from my book, Effective Group Coaching (Wiley, 2010), on the topic:

"Most organizations have thir own internal reqruiemrnts for proposals, workselection, and standard contracts. Agreements may range from written approval of proposals to letters of agreement. The organization may have their own standard format, or they may ask you to provide one. Much of this depends on your local context.
With your organizational contact or the sponse, confim what is reqruiemd in a proposal. Basic elements you will want to consider including are:
  • Background;
  • Objectives;
  • Program components - including needs assessment, design, delivery, evaluation, and any other follow-up;
  • Proposed work schedule;
  • Pricing
  • Similar programs delivered (maintaining confidentiality and non-disclosure as needed);
  • Any subcontractors (or other coaches) you will be using- including their bio; and
  • References/testimonials"

(Copyright: Jennifer Britton, 2010 - Effective Group Coaching, pp. 184, John Wiley and Sons)

What else do you find useful including in your proposals for group coaching or other work? As always, please feel free to comment below.

Have a great week!

The goal of business team coaching is to produce a successful team of people who work well together. The members develop a sense of belonging. They often call it a family. They have clear shared goals and recognize that it will take teamwork to achieve those goals.
