About Build a Thriving Group Coaching Practice and Business

New Group May - July 2023!

Group coaching is a vital tool for coaches, leaders, visionaries and practitioners because it is the wave of the future. National movement toward group coaching and group visits has been a trend the past few years, and the interest is growing. Group coaching allows us to reach more people for three reasons: it offers reduced participation costs, it creates an instant community of support around a common experience, and it decreases the time investment on the part of the coach. Translating coaching skills to hold space for multiple people while navigating the many moving parts that need to be tended to in a group requires skill and practice. This series will prepare you to design, market, and deliver your group coaching offering.

Objectives:

Describe and demonstrate key components of group coaching.
Practice skills and techniques that coaches need to develop to successfully design, market, and deliver group coaching.
Evaluate research and best practice regarding group coaching.
Identify basic and advanced facilitation techniques that support the delivery of group coaching.
Identify opportunities to apply this work in the field.

“I love the interaction with other coaches and learning from each other, as well as having a Group planning guide to work from, very well organized. Teresa and Michele are very humble and caring coaches. It has been an honor to learn from them.”

"Thank you for all the valuable resources, and feedback, your class offered. Each session was progressive, moving us along the spectrum - providing the opportunity to learn about resources to build a group practice. It was also helpful to see and be a part of a "working" group practice of very skilled coaches and learn from the best in the field. Thank you for sharing your insight, wisdom, and skill sets! Well worth the investment!"

"Michele and Theresa created this class from a wealth of experience and skill, inviting and supporting us to explore and expand our capacity as group coaches. We learned from their content, opportunities to practicing coaching as well as seeing how they created a group coaching experience for us! The content and live experiences woven together in this class will strengthen both your confidence as well as your skills to offer coaching in a group."

"I loved the practicing that we were able to do! You made the virtual learning on my part feel seamless. As a class we connected during sessions and had small-group break outs, emails communicated resources and other pertinent items. It was all part of my learning on how to structure a group, and things I will look to foster in my virtual groups. You two work so well together and your knowledge is both from your own backgrounds and complementary--it was a pleasure learning from you both!"

"Michele and Theresa were able to offer not only group coaching theory and best practice content to structure my groups, but also provided space to practice within a virtual environment. They were able to demonstrate how to effectively leverage technology, which is so important in the current day and age! I feel prepared and confident to bring my group coaching offering out and into the world."

What Past Participants Have Said...

"This course was excellent in teaching and modeling facilitating a group coaching session. Teresa and Michele modeled how to facilitate well, as well as how to flawlessly co teach. The materials on best practices of leading group coaching were excellent – so much rich material. And, the experiential exercises helped solidify the learning. Learning from others on their ideas and plans for group coaching sessions added to the depth of learning. I feel ready to start my own group coaching sessions."

- Kris

"I got everything I was seeking and more from this program. Not only did I get all the information I need to move forward on creating my own group, but I also gained the confidence to do so and drew inspiration from having Michele and Theresa model excellent group coaching."

"As others witness my stories and experiences, they see my strengths, passions and gifts more clearly than I do. Sometimes it is hard to see myself clearly and the depth of my value and worth."
