Join us in a dialogue about Group Coaching. Under the umbrella methodology of Action Learning, Group Coaching is defined as a process in which 4-6 participants address current real work challenges in a simple structured format, problem-solve through guided questioning, and take action based on new insights. Led by a facilitator, each participant receives careful and thoughtful questions from their fellow group members and in reflecting on the answers, the participant typically re-defines the challenge. Assumptions and obstacles surface that open the way to clear problem solving and renewed motivation to take action. While taking turns, participants improve their questioning and listening skills. Peer relationships grow and trust deepens.
