What is group coaching? | Reveln & Jennifer Britton

I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer Britton and buying her new book on group coaching two months ago. It is a goldmine of insights into the emergence of action-plan oriented learning that fully engages those, in a group setting, in a way that is intentionally set up to be:

  • collaborative,
  • goal oriented,
  • results based,
  • systemic, and
  • sustainability-minded.
Here's a group coaching definition mentioned in Jennifer's book, that group coaching is:

  • A facilitated group process that is led by a professional coach and formed with the intention of maximizing the combined energy, experience and wisdom of individuals who chose to join in order to achieve organizational objectives and/or individual goals. -- Ginger Cockerham, the "Power of Groups"

I'll be testing out and using her wisdom for a new group coaching teleclass on social media described in a recent post.  Take a look at her comprehesive book overview listed below.   She's got a lot to offer as she describes how group coaching helps participants focus on what really matters in making any type of change,  coaching themselves through implementation and sustainable action.

  • Ground level detail.
  • Safety, risk - tolerance discussion, fun
  • A website that will be made private for ease of use.
  • Developing your ability to "do it," not just learn about it.
  • A coach-consultant-small business owner facilitated group
  • Social media taught FOR coaches, consultants & small business owners.
  • Low tech focus.  Plain English.   Low jargon.
