UPDATES ABOUT GROUP & TEAM COACHING

We have just completed the first four-day training of Group & Team Coaching. After the same training in Egypt in March, I made the decision to extend it to four days due to the amount of information as well as the need to drill the group coaching skills. I’m glad I did. Further, with the new learnings about deliberation practice feedback, we were able to integrate numerous group coaching skills into the training to further enable and facilitate the group coaches to develop the required skills to be effective.

After the first days of training come the Integration of the Skills. This is when various Meta- Coaches go onto the stage to handle of group of six people and to complete a particular scenario and group coaching conversation. Doing this taps into the psycho-drama of a common group coaching situation and the amazing thing to me is that within just a few minutes of sitting up the situation, people “lose frame,” and begin talking, feeling, and acting as if the scenario is real. And, of course, that always makes the experience more dramatic for those of us watching.
