A coaching group consists of individuals (ideally 5-10) who strive to build a more collaborative relationship and/or who share a common goal, theme, or focus for improvement in either the personal or the business arena.
What?
Coaching is basically a professionally guided learning and enrichment process based on mental health, interpersonal skills, motivation, and business practice principles.
When?
The coaching session takes place at a prescheduled time for a single 30-90 minute period or a pre-
arranged series of sessions, depending on format.
Why?
While individual coaching is appropriate for many themes, often focus areas are team and support
oriented or a goal is shared. Group coaching can be more fulfilling, enjoyable and cost effective.
How?
An organizer selects the volunteer participants. The date, time, and location are determined, an agreement is signed and a payment is made. The organizer provides the coach with a focus area/goal
and preparation materials as needed may be distributed in advance.
Where?
The location is a mutually agreed upon setting such as a conference bridge, a private home, church, school, organizational site, or workplace.
Fees?
Group coaching fees vary depending on size, location, duration, and agenda.
