  • It is not something to passively observe
  • It is not about selling books or CD’s
  • It is not seminar style training
  • It is not speaker focused
  • It is not a slideshow
  • It is not a lecture

Group Based Coaching: What it is…

  • It is learner driven
  • It is practice focused
  • It is participant centered
  • It is a form of executive coaching
  • It is driven by adult learning principles
  • It is designed for engagement and feedback
  • It is facilitated by an experienced talent development professional

Our Approach

We limit participation to approximately 5 – 7 people so that participants can learn from each other as we facilitate the small group and coach individually. The ideal target size is four participants. We rely upon a solutions focused approach for coaching and engaging adults.

Lasting approximately six months, each partnership includes needs assessment, some limited on-site facilitation, online meetings, group and individual coaching, social media support (e.g. blog, wiki, etc.), skills practice and learning application.

Reaching Higher

Purpose:

To help clients get unstuck in their current thinking and situations. To help clients make breakthroughs to move forward. To assist clients in reaching higher and transferring their learning into new results for themselves and the organizations in which they work.

What coaches do:

  • Encourage rigor in the way clients organize their thinking, visioning, planning and expectations.
  • Build or strengthen conceptual frameworks, images and metaphors.
  • Challenge clients to push their competence or learning edge.
  • Build clients’ capacity to manage their own anxiety and to cope in tough situations.
