Here's what coaches have said about attending Jennifer's Group Coaching Essentials teleseminar program:

"Group Coaching Essentials is a wonderful laboratory for learning key concepts about adult learning, instructional design, group dynamics and more. Jennifer Britton's wonderfully organic facilitation style allows each session to be a flowing, dynamic group conversation that is rich in learning and personal insights! I recommend this program for anyone who wants to gain confidence, knowledge and resources in preparation for launching their own group coaching program"

“Jennifer’s Group Coaching Essentials’ program was a marvelous opportunity to increase my knowledge, skills and confidence in creating and doing group coaching workshops. Jennifer did a great job of modeling great facilitation skills which enhanced the learning immensely”

-Chris Pallotti, Strategic Life Plans

 

“Jennifer – I have derived tremendous value from your program. It has helped me tremendously and provided guidance for creating and facilitating impactful and engaging group sessions. My current group (6 executives from the financial industry) is approaching our 5th session (out of 6 that they originally signed up for), but they shared with me last week that they are deriving so much value that most likely they will extend the engagement to continue the momentum. Thanks to your Essentials program I feel I now have the confidence, tools and techniques to expand and market additional group programs.”

Michelle Brown, CEC, IntuAction Coaching
