It is not always easy to work out what coaches do and how they could support you. Here I'll share a more information on what working together could look like in the context of a group or workshop.
What is group coaching?
Group coaching is taking part in a session around a particular theme or subject with people that you may or may not know. These sessions are likely to contain structured content, with a set agenda and format. Whereas coaching on a 1-2-1 basis can be more fluid.
Being listened to, having space to reflect and dedicated attention for you to explore the subject are all vital parts of this experience.
Being part of a group may or may not appeal to you. However, the group supporting each other is often the greatest benefit for those involved. Sharing experiences and learning from the group in a non judgemental way is hugely powerful and can help individuals to feel connected to others and not alone in the challenges they face.
With group coaching, it is important to set out how the group will be so that everyone feels comfortable in the environment. We always discuss this first and foremost and ensure confidentiality and the psychological safety of everyone is adhered to.
I joined your session on imposter syndrome last April and it was hugely beneficial to me. I use the tools of reframing to this day. I love what you do and I wanted to thank you for such empowering insight. It made me realise that I am not alone with my challenges of imposter syndrome.
What subjects?
I offer regular workshops on building confidence and overcoming imposter syndrome as well as leadership development programmes for women. Other subjects include:
Coaching skills to empower yourself and others
Journaling workshops
Well-being and building resilience
Coaching skills for new managers
Watch out for face to face events in the Cambridge area too.
Have you tried group coaching before? Did you enjoy the experience?
