Group and Team Coaching Intensive

Picture
Join Author of Effective Group Coaching, Jennifer Britton, for a two day, in person hands-on group  and team coaching training program, the Group Coaching Intensive.

This two day intensive program is a hands-on program for coaches wishing to learn about the practicalities of group and team coaching, while building and practicing their skills in the modality. The program has been approved in the past for 19  hours of Continuing Coach Education (17 Core Competencies, 2 hr. Resource Development) with the International Coach Federation.

As of 2018, this program is usually offered in conjunction with a partnering organization, who brings together the group. We've delivered the program via a number of University programs and ICF Chapters. If you have a group of 5-10 coaches who want to participate, please reach out to us.

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 focusing on practice of group coaching skills, as well as providing you with tools, best practices and approaches you will be able to apply directly to your own group coaching work. Spaces at the Intensive are limited to 12, keeping in the range of what is considered group coaching by the ICF. Most intensives involve 4-8 coaches.

Here's how past participants have described the program:

"A must for coaches who want to bring their coaching skills to another level!" – Mylene Beauchamp "A time for you to focus on group coaching and building your business. A rare treat and strategic business move to participate in person with other great coaches and Jennifer’s excellent facilitation." – Kathleen Clark, PCC

"Expand and enhances your work/skills even if you aren’t going to build a group coaching business" – Dr. Jean Davidson

"Specific tools and techniques combined with flexibility and expertise in eliciting participation made the time meaningful" - KH


This program is geared for coaches who are keen to learn more about, and practice, the techniques, theory, skills and practice of group coaching. It will be of interest to both new and experienced coaches.

The program is led by Jennifer Britton, PCC, a pioneer in the area of group coaching, author of Effective Group Coaching, and the host of the Group Coaching Ins and Outs blog. Jennifer brings 20-plus 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, several hundred coaches have completed the Group Coaching Essentials program, and ICF Approved CCE program. These coaches are now facilitating their own group coaching programs with clients in the corporate realm and with thee public.
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
  • Acquire tools, techniques and templates so you can successfully design, implement and market you own group and team coaching programs
  • Practice, experiment and receive feedback on you own group and team coaching skills
  • Explore how your current coaching skills can be adapted for the group and team coaching context
  • Expand you coaching toolkit and resources in the area of group coaching
  • Acquire and practice group coaching approaches

Topics we cover during the program include:

  • What Group  and Team Coaching Is, How it Can Be Delivered (in person/by phone);
  • Differences between group coaching and team coaching, differences and similarities with individual coaching;
  • The Continuum of Small Group Processes;
  • Fundamental Principles of working with groups - group dynamics, adult education principles and experiential education;
  • Competencies for Group Coaching including Group Coaching Core Skills and Best Practices;
  • Tricky Issues in Group Coaching - How to avoid them, and how to handle them when they happen
  • Tips for Designing and Running Your Own Group Coaching Programs (for pubic or corporate groups)
  • Virtual Facilitation Basics - What do do, what to avoid and how to facilitate engagement with phone, web and other virtual programs
  • Marketing Your Group Coaching programs
  • Corporate group and team coaching considerations
  • Exercises/Tools for Group Coaching (which you will experience and be able to facilitate yourself!)
  • Group Coaching Skill Practice and Feedback
A significant focus of the two day program is on practice and feedback opportunities. Each coach is asked to bring a 20 minute group coaching process/exercise which they will run with the group.

The two-day Group and Team Coaching Essentials Intensive program includes:

  • The Group and Team Coaching Intensive Participants Manual (70 + pages of content, templates, worksheets and resource lists)
  • An individual pre-program call with Jenn
  • A group follow up call one month after the Intensive to check in on your progress and successes.
  • 15 hours of training in the area of group and team coaching plus a blended learning assignment
  • Invitations to community calls for alumni of the Group Coaching Essentials program

For more information, download a 2 page brochure about the program here. Program size is capped at 10-12 coaches to ensure a small group environment and ample time for practice and feedback on your skills. Typical group size is in the range of 5 - 10 coaches.
