December 15 –10 Themes for Group Coaching
Group coaching provides an intimate conversation space for individuals to come together around
· New insights based on what we hear others share and focus on;
· Expanded awareness of what I am doing, and what’s unique to me;
· Accountability and getting things done that we say we will;
· Community and connection with others – so important in today’s remote work space!
The diversity of different types of group coaching conversations is immense. Over the last 15 years of supporting coaches in developing their own group coaching programs, I've seen programming emerge in lots of exciting areas - from coaching leaders, to coaching parents, coaching start-ups, and authors, wellnesss groups, and educators.
While the diversity of the clients we work with will always shape WHAT group coaching looks like and WHAT is sounds like, there are common themes we find ourselves coaching around.
10 themes group coaches may find themselves coaching around are:
Vision
Values
Mindset
Belief Systems
Assumptions
Perspectives
Strengths
Challenges
Change
Goals
Over to you - Making it Practical and Tactical
What are the focus areas your clients are wanting to explore in a group setting?
What 3-5 themes could frame a series of conversations?
What value would a group conversation have for your clients?
What else would support expanded awareness, and accountability?
I hope that you will use this series of blog posts an opportunity to focus in on what your 2020 programming can look like.
I'll be back on Tuesday with another post in this year end series - be sure to check out tomorrow's regular Expanding Your Group and Team Coaching Toolkit post.
Warm regards,
Jennifer
