Keeping the conversation going: group programs

"Keeping the conversation going" between group members can add tremendous value to the connection,

learning and trust amongst group members. Whether you are running a group coaching program, offering a teleclass/teleseminar or webinar, how do you keep the conversation flowing between touch points?

You may want to consider incorporating into your work some of these options:

1. Structured assignments/fieldwork between sessions which individuals share insights by email to each other
2. Journalling assignments group member share  using a platform like JournalEngine
3. Learning partners or triads which meet in between sessions (with formal or informal assignments)
4. Tips sent out by email or posted a group site (for example if you are working on busienss development issues, providing group with links to articles written/online resources)
5. Quotations sent out by email or posted to a group site (generated by you as leader/coach or the group)
6. Audios or videos for group members to tap into
7. Private Facebook page

In today's busy world it is easy to lose focus and get pulled into many other areas. What can you do to support accountability, learning, insights, and engagement, with your group members between touchpoints?

Have a terrific week,
Jennifer
