The Group Coaching Essentials (TM) (GEC) program from Potentials Realized is an interactive, hands-on program dedicated to supporting coaches who wish to develop their own group coaching programs. Join author of Effective Group Coaching, Jennifer Britton, PCC, CPCC for this practical and road-tested program. The program is accredited for 8.75 hours of CCEs from the International Coach Federation. Group Coaching Essentials is delivered as 5 x 75 minute teleseminar calls on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Coaches also have the opportunity to meet 1-1 with Jennifer in between each call for a 15 minute lazer call. Course size is limited to 8 coaches per session to ensure maximum course participation and tailoring to your learning needs.
A majority of coaches are ready to launch and market their own group coaching program at the end of this program, or shortly thereafter. Since January 2006 this program has been taken by hundreds of coaches from around the world -- across North America, the UK, Germany, Australia, Singapore, Latin America, and New Zealand. Many coaches opt to follow up the Group Coaching Essentials program and take their skills deeper with either the in person Group Coaching Intensive or the Advanced Group Coaching Practicum (by phone). Those wishing to follow on with the Advanced Practicum can now bundle their registration for additional savings (see blow)
Here's what coaches have said about the Group Coaching Essentials program:
"Jennifer is an absolute gem, very delightful to learn from, never-ending knowledge, and extremely generous with sharing her tips, talents and time. Her consistent high-touch approach and positivity kept learning fun. Fall all things group and team coaching, Coach Jennifer is the expertt with abounding practical tools and resources" - Heidi B King, Legacy Leaders for Life
"Jennifer's 'Group Coaching Essentials' is a must-have course for any coaches who do groups! Regardless of whether or not you're an experienced group leader or coach, this course will provide you with tools, support, guidance and motivation to further your group offerings. Jennifer is an excellent group facilitator and teleclass leader and models the skills she is teaching in the course by being transparent about her process ... which furthers your learning. Thank you, Jennifer, for such an enjoyable as well as valuable course!" - Sandi Lindgren, LICSW, PCC, http://www.isupportyouth.com
"Completing this program gave me the confidence and knowledge to create and deliver my own Group Coaching program. In fact I started delivering my Program before the training ended! The 1:1 sessions with Jennifer and the feedback she gave me on my program content was invaluable. Knowing that I was working with "the" expert in the field of Group Coaching was extremely valuable." - Julie Marah, CPCC, Personal and Business Coach, How's Your Life Professional Coaching,
"As a result of the Group Coaching Essentials program, I have created a 5 session group teleclass that will launch in a couple of months. I had been nervous about conducting any group coaching calls because I felt like I didn't know what to do. Jennifer completely changed that for me. I feel confident in my capabilities and will be relying on what I learned throughout the course to make my program phenomenal. I highly recommend this course (and please know that I've spent too much money on other courses and none of them compared to the value I received in this course!) - Ann Thomas, Ann Thomas Coaching & Consulting, LLC
"Group Coaching Essentials is a wonderful laboratory for learning key concepts about adult learning, instructional design, group dynamics and more.

I believe that this program helped me to make my own group coaching series successful. " - Lori Tingle

Sure enough, her teachings gave me the precise framework required to build a fabulous program. Her guidance was seamless, easy and right on the money every time, as well as great fun. Now I have the tools and confidence to go forth and offer the same to my clients." - Suzie Golsher, Champion for Healers
