October Program Line Up: Mentor Coaching, Intensive, Group Coaching Essentials

It's hard to believe that October is already here, and the leaves outside my window are proof that fall is here. Here's our October and early November program line up of virtual (and one in-person) learning opportunities:

Group Coaching Essentials (6.75 CCEs with the ICF):
Geared for coaches who are looking to design and run their own group coaching programs (in-person, virtual, corporate or public), we cover the nuts and bolts of group coaching - design, marketing, implementation.
The October group will be held on Tuesdays from 6-7:15 pm Eastern/New York: October 9, 16, 23, 30 and November 6 (This class can be followed by the Nov/Dec Advanced Practicum- save $40 when you register for both) OR
November group: Thursdays 10:30-11:45 am ET: November 1, 8, 15, 29 and December 6

Advanced Group Coaching Practicum (8 CCEs with the ICF):

For GEC Alumni and experienced group coaches who are looking for more practice and feedback on their group coaching skills in a virtual environment. We take a deeper dive at key group coaching issues such as virtual learning, co-facilitation, and tricky issues. Each participating coach will lead a 25 minute group coaching process during one of our weekly calls.

We will spend the two afternoons rolling up our sleeves and immersing ourselves in action and tips to bring forward  your next group program. Each hour is comprised of a mix of group conversation and individual exercises.
