GROUP COACHING

Through participation in a group coaching program you can connect with other women who are experiencing similar situations and problems and be coached towards achieving the business and lifestyle you desire. A coaching group is most effective when you and the other participants have a common objective or vision.

Coaching in groups is also a cost effective way of bringing like-minded people together to integrate coaching and communication skills as well as allowing each member to experience being coached and coaching others. The latest technology and tools are integrated to allow you to make the changes and shifts that remove the obstacles that impede your progress toward your goals. The group direction is based on the agenda chosen by the members. A coach, as an outside observer and facilitator of the group, can bring new perspectives and facilitate the discovery of a successful path for you and other group members.

What are the benefits of group coaching?

There are many benefits to participation in a group coaching program.

Ten of the main benefits are:

• More cost effective than one-on-one coaching.
• Support from coach and other members of the group provided in a safe, confidential place where you can feel free to talk.
• Collaboration with group members for the purpose of achieving at a higher level than you have been able to achieve individually.
• Development of great relationships with people who are feeling the same as you.
• There is a sharing of knowledge, skills, resources and tools to support you and other members of the group.
• Brings about long-term sustainable change.
• Better integration between work and personal life.
• Improved health and wellbeing including an increase in self-confidence.
• Learn to work better not harder to maximise results.
• Increased motivation for forward movement towards achievement of goals.

How Group Coaching Works?

• There is a limit of ten individuals in a group to ensure maximum participation and maximum individual results.
• A program is run for a minimum of six months.
• It is conducted on a fortnightly basis via a telephone bridge line. Therefore location is not an issue.
• A commitment to confidentiality is made in the first session by all members of the group.
• Group Coaching is designed to be interactive. Each participant is encouraged to participate at least 3 times on each call. (Check at the beginning on how coaching tools/commitments have worked or not the past week, to be coached or coach others on exercises during the call, and to give feedback on what was valuable to them at the end of the call). Many of the inhibitions of in-person encounters disappear with the more relaxed atmosphere created by a coach and the telebridge where people speak their own truths more easily and make the changes and shifts they want to make quickly.
• Laser speak is encouraged - everyone agrees to get to her point quickly (no long story telling).
• Real value comes from the group participation with the coach as facilitator keeping everyone connected during the call and insuring the incorporation of the ‘just in time’ tools and skills that participants can leave the call with and use immediately to improve the quality of their lives and their businesses each week.
• Each member is provided with positive feedback to encourage motivation and commitment to progress towards their goals.

"The greater the loyalty of a group toward the group, the greater is the motivation among the members to achieve the goals of the group, and the greater the probability that the group will achieve its goals."
