Participation and Inclusions
Theory & Frameworks
Group coaching builds on your 1 to 1 coaching expertise (and model) but adds layers. It's an advanced coaching skill that enables you to increase your impact and return. You will learn the latest concepts and theories surrounding the following:
Leader Labs
The Leader Labs are where you put the new skills you are learning into practice. They are a space for practice and experimentation and where you will observe and practice managing the needs of individuals within a group agenda and format.
Group Coaching Plan
Plan a Group Coaching workshop or program for your ideal client(s) using the ICA template as a guide, and drawing on the expertise and feedback from ICA's faculty. You may choose to use the FlipIt Framework, or you might choose to integrate your area of interest or expertise. The main consideration is that you plan something that will be of use to you with your market and your niche.
Featuring FlipIt
As part of your ICA studies you will have discovered the power of reframing a perspective using the ICA Coaching Power Tools and the FlipIt 4 step process. In the group coaching program we take this a step further and teach you how to use FlipIt in a group setting using the online flipit kit.
-
One on One vs Group Coaching?With one on one coaching you have a single client. With Group coaching, you are working with 2 or more people who might have a commonality (eg. attending a workshop) but they each have their own motivations, expectations and goals.
-
Group vs Team Coaching?
Like group coaching, team coaching involves more than one person. But, the group will share a direct commonality (eg. all work together) and are focused on achieving the same shared goal or outcome.
-
What are the applications for Group Coaching?
Group coaching can be blended with other professions (consulting, training etc) and/or integrated into a range of group settings (classrooms, workshops, seminars etc).
-
How many people make it a group?
Groups can be anything from 2 – 200 people, with it depending on your skill, confidence and expertise.
-
Do I already need to be certified as a coach?
This program requires that you are a certified coach, or working towards coach certification. It assumes pre learning around the ICF competencies and an understanding of how coaching is different to coaching, mentoring or consulting.
-
How is this program different to an Advanced Upgrade
This program specifically prepares and certifies you for the role of group coach, including group coaching theory and practicum. The Advanced program provides the same learning and certification, but also includes Coach Supervision and 12 months ongoing professional development post graduation. An upgrade to advanced is only available via the Certified Professional program and is priced at $2555 USD.
