Group Coaching Essentials Intensive

October 3 and 4, 2008 : Toronto, CANADA

This program fuses the essentials, foundations and principles of one of the quickest growing areas of the coaching profession - group coaching - with the opportunity for you to practice group coaching skills. This is an intensive, interactive hands-on program.

This program is for coaches who are keen to learn more about the techniques, theory, skills and practice of group coaching.

The program is led by Jennifer Britton, PCC, a pioneer in the area of group coaching, and the host of the Group Coaching Ins and Outs blog. Jennifer brings 20 years experience as a group facilitator and has designed and delivered group coaching programs since 2004 to clients virtually (by phone) and in person. Since 2006, over 200 coaches, from 10 countries, have completed the Group Coaching Essentials program. These coaches are now facilitating their own group coaching programs with clients.

This is an experiential, hands-on program, designed for coaches to:

• Gain a deeper understanding of what group coaching is,
how it differs from 1-1 coaching, workshops and retreats
• Explore how their current coaching skills can be adapted
for the group coaching context
• Understand the 12 Best Practices of Group Coaches
• Practice group coaching skills
• Acquire tools, techniques and templates so that they can
implement and market their own group coaching
programs.

Topics we will cover include:
  • What Group Coaching Is, How it Can Be Delivered (in person/by phone)
  • Competencies of Group Coaching
  • Group Coaching Core Skills
  • Group Coaching Best Practices
  • Skill Drills
  • Sticky Situations and Edges - Ethics, Difficult Participants
  • Tips for Design and Marketing Your Own Group Coaching
  • Tips for smooth implementation
  • Exercises (which you will experience and be able to facilitate yourself!)

An application will be submitted to the ICF for Continuing Coach Education Hours for this 2 day program.

The program is offered twice a year in Toronto and can be offered in other locations for groups of coaches (minimum 12) who are interested in hosting this experiential program.
