Welcome to Group Coaching Essentials with Potentials Realized. Founded by Effective Group Coaching author Jennifer Britton, we have been providing ICF-CCE advanced training in group coaching since 2006.! Thanks for joining us. This website is dedicated to tools, resources and programs for coaches and other professionals wanting to expand their work to teams and groups, particularly in the area of Group Coaching, Team Coaching, Virtual Facilitation and Programs for teams and groups. We have offered Group Coaching training since 2006, and Team Coaching Training since 2010. We also offer coaching supervision and mentor coaching. Join us for the new 70 and 125 hour pathways of learning and certification in Team Coaching. These programs are CCE approved with the ICF. Coaches have been using them as part of their learning pathway for the new ACTC (Advanced Credential In Team Coaching). We also offer Coaching Supervision Groups for Team Coaches. Group Coaching Essentials was created by author and coach Jennifer Britton. Her first book Effective Group Coaching was the world's first book to be published on group coaching in late 2009. She followed it with From One to Many: Best Practices of Team and Group Coaching (Jossey-Bass, 2013). More recently she's released Effective Virtual Conversations (2017), Coaching Business Builder (2018) and PlanDoTrack Workbook and Planner for Remote and Virtual Professionals (2019). Jennifer's 2021 body of work is Reconnecting Workspaces: Pathways to Thrive in the Virtual, Remote and Hybrid World (June 2021) and the accompanying coaching guide, The 90-Day Guide for Success (October 2021). You will also find links to the Reconnecting Workspaces Coach Certification program (24 CCEs), aimed at equipping coaches with the tools and ideas explored in Reconnecting Workspaces, and helping them specialize with support in the hybrid and remote world. At this site you will find information regarding coach training including: Group Coaching Essentials (accredited for 8.75 ICF CCEs), the Advanced Group and Team Coaching Practicum (10 CCEs with the ICF) , Team Coaching Essentials (14 CCEs) Reconnecting Workspaces Certified Coach (24 CCEs) and the Virtual Facilitation Essentials training (8.5 CCEs with ICF). We also offer a 70 hour and 125 hour Group Coaching Certificate or Team Coaching Certificate stream for those alumni who want to take their learning deeper. Known as a "Coaches Coach" Jennifer also provides individual and group mentor coaching for those working towards their ICF Credentials (ACC and PCC), as well as their Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC). You can find information about individual mentor coaching, as well as our Mentor Coaching Group (10 hour combination of group mentor coaching (7hrs) and 3 hours of individual mentor coaching). Jennifer also offers individual mentoring services for those building their own coaching business or those creating their own group and virtual programs (our Virtual Individual Mentoring VIP Days). We specialize in virtual program delivery and have done so since we opened our doors in April 2004. Jennifer delivered her TEDx talk, Virtual, Remote and Hybrid Checklist in August 2021. Check it out here. In addition, you will find information on many of the programs we offer to the public including the Learning Lab and Design Studio (Annual Group focusing on all things learning), the Coaching Biz Growth Lab (annual group focusing on all things business growth), and the Remote Pathways Lab (annual group focusing on all things related to the remote space). Most programs are led by Jennifer Britton, PCC, CPCC, CHRP, CPT, who founded Potentials Realized in 2004. Potentials Realized is a Canadian-based performance Improvement company, dedicated to working with organizations and professionals around the world who are keen to deliver extraordinary work and impact. We are known for our work in the areas of group coaching, mentoring, leadership development and high impact, experiential learning. Jennifer is the author of Effective Group Coaching (Wiley, January 2010), the first book to be published on the topic of group coaching globally. Her 2013 book expands the focus to Coaching Many - From One to Many: Best Practices for Team and Group Coaching (Jossey-Bass, 2013). Her 2017 follow up, Effective Virtual Conversations, widens the focus to creating MEMORABLE and IMPACTFUL conversations in the virtual space, for intact and remote teams. One of Potentials Realized's core offerings is the Group Coaching EssentialsTM program, designed to support coaches in designing and marketing their own group coaching programs for clients. Offered since 2006, this program has benefited hundreds of coaches globally. Please note that the Group Coaching EssentialsTM program is eligible for CCE's (Continuing Coach Education) Units from the International Coach Federation (8.75 CCEs). Some coaches go on to complete the Advanced Group Coaching Practicum, also approved for CCEs (10 CCEs), designed to provide coaches with more practice and feedback on their skills in group coaching. Virtual Facilitation Essentials is now approved for 8.5 CCEs, and the PlanDoTrack Facilitator Training is approved for 24 CCEs. ANNUAL PROGRAMMING - Join us throughout 2023!
