Group Coaching A - Z - A through E

Group Coaching A - Z 

Copyright 2012 - Jennifer Britton. All Rights Reserved.

Over the last week I've been posting on our Facebook page about the A through Z's of Group Coaching. For those who aren't on FB, here are the A through E of Group Coaching -

A is for action, accountability and awareness. What do you do as a coach to support these three?

B is for "Bottom line". Sharing the skill of bottom lining will help with the flow of a group coaching session and ensure that there is equal/equitable air time for each member.


C is for Commitment. What is the ONE thing each group member is committed to doing/being before the next coaching conversation? Leave time at the end of each session to declare it and the start of the next one to check in on this.

D is for Dance. Being open to whatever themes/focus areas show up in your group and being present to coach in the moment is a key part of the group coaching process. Unlike the structure of a training program, get ready to dance to meet the needs of group coaching clients/coachees.

E is for Evaluate. Getting feedback and redesigning with your groups is a critical part of the group coaching process. Take the pulse of the group at the end of the first session by asking - What worked well? What are you taking away? What should we do differently next time?
 
Stand by for more next week!

Have a wonderful weekend

Life coaching is very interesting and motivating service. It helps a person to understand his status and the future status. It can provide assistance in the form of bridge to reach at his desired destination.
