Group Coaching
Group Coaching is a focused, short-term coaching engagement aimed at supporting managers to enhance their skills, techniques or behaviours in a specific area. It can overcome organisational resistance to change by rising above the focus on an individual’s goals and instead encouraging corporate thinking.
How is group coaching different from training?
The difference between coaching and training is similar to what we see in sports. In training, the learning is directed by the coach according to their curriculum on the subject. In coaching, the manager is engaged in demonstrating their skills and knowledge while the coach offers their observations and guidance to help the manager improve. The result is focused application and real-time improvement in the area of focus.
Group Coaching is intended for small groups. In most cases, the group size is limited to maximum 4 people. The duration will need to be extended to provide every person dedicated attention and support. Before starting, the coach will have a preparation call with the key stakeholders to align their focus and get ready for the first session.
We optimise the Group Coaching plan to be able to achieve improvements within a specified duration. However, in case a manager needs more support, we offer a special rate for additional hours, which would be discussed for approval before invoicing.
