Individual / Group Coaching
Group Coaching
Group coaching leverages the “collective wisdom” of a group. In additional to the interaction with the coach, customers learn from other members of group, which is often called “peer learning”.
One-to-one coaching is a deep-dive to a person, whereas group coaching is a collective experience around a common theme or goal. Educational aspect is higher.
Individual customers may prefer group coaching because
- the attention is not constantly and only on them,
- they progress faster with group support,
- it extends their personal network and
- is more cost effective.
Group coaching may be offered virtually as well as in person. Thus group coaching can be offered to international groups or people living in different cities. Ideal session duration of virtual group coaching is 90 minutes.
When group size is above 12 people, it becomes more facilitation and is ineffective. Ideal size for group coaching is 7 clients.
Some example individual group coaching offers are the following:
- 6 months, bi-weekly group coaching of leadership skills development coaching for professional women,
- 3 months, weekly group coaching for newly retired professionals to build a satisfactory “second life”,
- Group coaching for staying strong in periods of hardship at work and private life,
- One year, monthly group coaching program for entrepreneurs.
- 4 session group coaching program for new information technology graduates to select sector and field of work.
