We are delighted to be bringing you our highly regarded FOUNDATIONS of group coaching programme. All the information you need is below, along with links too book a call with Jana & Claire. New dates for cohort 3 will be coming soon. We cant wait to see you there!
Across sectors, the demand for high-quality group coaching is growing and many coaches are being asked to deliver it without ever having been trained in how groups really work.
We know how beneficial being supported to begin a new discipline is, and so we invite 10 people to join us as we launch our new online programme to support you to offer group coaching in a sustainable and authentic way for YOU.
We know that for some of you hybrid programmes are what floats your boat; being in person and connecting in beautiful spaces, and yet knowing that time and location can stop you accessing courses and CPD to support you moving forward has prompted us to design and pilot our ONLNE programme.
This is one of the only Group Coaching training programmes that offers hands-on experience of Group Coaching, supported by qualified and accredited coaches, and expert facilitators.
Ready to take the leap? Book your place today!
FOUNDATIONS of Group Coaching (Online Pilot) is here to change that. A small cohort of just 10 coaches, therapists and facilitators will come together online to:
Experience being in a live group coaching space
Practise holding a group coaching session yourself (with support)
Build confidence, tools and structure you can take straight into your own offers
Group coaching is a form of coaching where a group of individuals works together with a coach to achieve their personal or professional goals.
Unlike one-on-one coaching, group coaching leverages the collective wisdom and support of the group to foster growth and development.
Groups are powerful, the impact of group coaching can be immense.
