What's in your group coaching toolkit?


What's in your group coaching toolkit? What favorite activities and tools do you incorporate into your work?

Masterful coaches bring a wide variety of approaches to draw upon in their work with their groups (and teams).

Some of the tools you may have in your toolkit already are:
- Powerful Questions
- Standard coaching tools like the Wheel of Life (or Wheel of Leadership, Wheel of Career etc)
- Assessments (StrengthsFinder, DiSC)
- Visualizations


I've blogged on the topic of exercises and resources in the past. You may want to check out these past posts (plus others listed under group exercises)

 Group Coaching Exercises
Selecting a Group Exercise - Things to Consider


plus last year I did an A-Z series of exercises to bring into your group or team coaching work over the Effective Group Coaching Facebook page (July - September 2012)

For those that prefer audios, do listen into a five minute audio on 28 Ideas for Group Coaching here.

Which are your favorite resources?
What new approaches do you want to incorporate into your work, or add to your toolkit?

Have a great week,
Jennifer
