Partnering and Marketplace Opportunity - Group Coaching

Joint Partnerships, collaboration and co-facilitation are all avenues coaches may incorporate into their own business growth. We have the potential for the sum of one plus one to be greater than two when we synergize.

Some tips for making partnering work are:
1. Spend time upfront discussing expectations, strengths, vision and where you want to go with your work/project.
2. Look at where overlap and gaps may exist.
3. Create a plan together with specific accountabilities, responsibilities and feedback loop.
4. Discuss how you want to operate as a team.

I often receive requests from coaches for coaches who are interested in reaching out to the group coaching community. I wanted to share with you on such request as a Marketplace Opportunity. This is from Coach Fiona MacNeil who writes:


"Calling All Group Coaches! 
Hi, my name is Fiona MacNeil. I'm looking for several experienced group coaches who want to create an affiliate marketing partnership. If you offer international/virtual group coaching, I have 300K followers on Facebook who'd love to meet you! 
All coaches are invited to send me a "Friend Request" on Facebook. Please send me a private
message with a bit of information about you and your business goals. I look forward to making new 
friends and discovering new opportunities!"
You can reach Fiona via Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/CoachFiona.

If you have an opportunity you want to share with the group coaching community as a marketplace opportunity, please contact me.  (Please note that I am not responsible for, or connected to, any business results related to these marketplace opportunities I pass on unless specifically identified.)

Questions to consider:
What partnership opportunities exist for you right now?
What more in your business can you create through partnerships/synergies?
What are your expectations around partnerships? What do you bring to the table that is unique?
What will make your partnership excel?

Have a great week,
Jennifer
