Group Coaching: Four Things to Track

As a coach, and/or business owner, tracking themes and your results is an important part of group coaching success.

Here are 5 things you will want to consider tracking with respect to your group coaching programs:

1. What themes are emerging consistently across your program(s)? How are you addressing an incorporating these themes in the current program? If there is not time or space to incoporate all of them, is a re-design of your program needed, or can this be the seeds of another program?

2. What are you doing to follow up on accountabilities between group coaching sessions? The importance of accountability is an important differentiator between group coaching and workshops. What sytem do you have in place to track accountability as a group, or for individuals?

3. What are you noticing about the impact of your marketing efforts? If you are marketing your own group coaching programs, what are you tracking in terms of your results? What are you noticing about times of year/the week when people are interested in your programs? What are you noticing about the results from the different marketing strategies you are using?

4. Tracking Comments at the end of a session through a check-out or end of session evaluation. What are your participants/group members saying that they enjoy or want more of in a session? What are they saying about improvements? How are you incorporating this feedback?

What else do you think is important to track in group coaching? Please feel free to add your comments below.

Have a wonderful week!

warm regards,

Coaching several people in a group is a great way to leverage your services. group coaching is where members with a similar background, gather to address a common matter.
