Custom, structured coaching program for groups of 6 or fewer

Group Coaching brings together people with a shared goal, e.g. building confidence as a new manager, cultivating coaching skills at work, improving interpersonal communication, etc.

 

As a group, a structure is established and agreed upon along with group norms. Coaching sessions are action oriented and begin with goal setting. Time is taken to share and learn from one another, celebrate successes, and take note of insights. Collaboration, interactive exercises, and reflection are the main components of a group coaching engagement.
