5 Mistakes Group Coaches Make

The manuscript is almost done for my new book, Effective Group Coaching, and I have to say it's been a pretty enjoyable process of writing, as well as connecting with group coaches over the last couple of months. I've been a little more silent than usual on the blog this summer with all of the other writing I have been doing. Please keep posted as we move closer to the release date of the book - early 2010, as there are going to be a number of special initatives pre-release.



A huge question I often get asked during the Group Coaching Essentials program is What are some fo the Biggest Mistakes Group Coaches Make?



Here are five major pitfalls a lot of new group coaches fall into:

- Not discussing expectations at the start of a program - yours and the clients (plural!)

- Assuming a one size fits all within your group

- Marketing only one date at a time for your upcoming programs

- Not managin Group Dynamics and Process

- Trying to cover too much (content, exercises, concepts, themes etc/etc - you get it, right?)



What are some of the biggest pitfalls you have experienced or witnessed? As always, please feel free to comment below.

Have a great start to the week!
