I'm just back from an renewing weekend I spent with coaches who attended the Group Coaching Intensive here in Toronto. Over the course of the weekend I led the coaches through the ins and outs and practicalities of making group coaching successful from a coaching and client perspective. There was also ample opportunity for coaches to get their "hands dirty" practicing their own group coaching skills.
It was really a blast and I am looking forward to doing it again at least twice more this year. On Thursday and Friday July 14 and 15th I will host another two day Group Coaching Intensive in Huntsville, Ontario, CANADA in the beautiful wilderness setting of Muskoka. There will also be Group Coaching Intensive here in Toronto in October/November of this year. Registrations are now being accepted for the July program in Muskoka which will have a maximum of 8-10 spaces. I'll be applying again to have the course accredited for 15 CCEs with the ICF (13 Core Competencies, 2 Business Development).
Key insights for me this past weekend were the importance of regular dialogue within our community designed to strengthen our skills and focus our activities. As a lot of the group coaching work I do these days is by phone, if not in organizations, I was also reminded of how powerful an in-person community can be. What do you have planned to support you in strengthening your focus and building your community in the coming months?

Have a great start to your week!
