There is truly magic in group coaching! Beyond creating an opportunity for more accessible, cost-effective care, coaching in groups creates positive social pressure, inspiration, and accountability. Rather than the coach being the single relationship that drives change, participants can build off of shared experience and camaraderie, and create long-term relationships of support.
However, we also know that group coaching can be intimidating as the structure and process will diverge from the 1-1 coaching that many of us have been trained in. Open Source Wellness specializes in the group coaching with individuals in a variety of environments – including clinical healthcare settings, group housing facilities, and community centers – and has put a lot of thought into how to make group coaching engaging, effective, and fun!
In this course, we will:
- Discuss the benefits and challenges of group coaching.
- Learn the flow and time management of a group coaching session, as well as skills and strategies to work with common group coaching dynamics (including under-participation, over-participation, and managing conflict).
- Think through Zoom and digital coaching tactics.
- Break into small groups to practice the skills and processes specific to coaching a group.
