GROUP COACHING AND THE SETTING OF GOALS

Someone asked me recently, “Where can I get practice doing group and team coaching?” I said, “At your local MCF chapter.” They said, “I don’t have one.” I said, “Great, that’s even better! You get to start the group, call people together who are interested in coaching, and coach that group to become a team of highly interested people!” He said, “I can do that?” I said, “I don’t know, can you?”

Yes, I knew that he was actually asking if he had the right to start an MCF chapter and, just as we say in Coaching Mastery, in the tone of voice of Obama,“Yes you can!” So, if you want to practice group and team coaching, why not start with your local MCF chapter? A “group” can be as small as 2 or 3 people so if that’s all you have, you have enough to start. Okay. So, how do you start?
