Registration is now closed for this program.

Are you a coach looking for face to face learning and practice with group and team coaching? 
Join us for 2 days of a deep dive into group and team coaching practices.

Come have FUN in sharpening your skills, getting feedback and also learning more about best practices. This is an interactive, hands-on learning experience.

Offered since 2010, this is one of the original training programs around team and group coaching with Jennifer Britton, the author of From One to Many: Best Practices for Team and Group Coaching.

The Group and Team Coaching Intensive is a two day in-person training program, geared to provide coaches and professionals in related fields with knowledge and skills in group coaching, and the related field of team coaching.  The program has been approved in the past for 19 CCEs with the ICF (17 hours of core competencies), including a new blended learning assignment.

The program has been designed and is delivered by the woman who wrote the book on group coaching - Jennifer Britton, author of Effective Group Coaching (Wiley, 2009), and From One to Many: Best Practices for Team and Group Coaching (Jossey-Bass, 2013). Our flagship program, the Group Coaching Essentials teleseminar turns 18 in 2023, and the Intensive returns after a pandemic hiatus.

This is an experiential, hands-on program, designed for coaches to:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of what group and team coaching is, how it differs from 1-1 coaching, workshops and retreats
  • Explore how team and group coaching differ and what skills are required
  • Acquire tools, techniques and templates so you can successfully design, implement and market you own group and team coaching programs
  • Practice, experiment and receive feedback on you own group and team coaching skills
  • Discover techniques to build collaboration, trust and connection with your in-person and virtual team and group coaching engagements
  • Explore how your current coaching skills can be adapted
    for the group (and team) coaching context
  • Expand you coaching toolkit and resources in the area of group and team coaching
  • Acquire and practice group and team coaching approaches

Topics we cover during the program include:

  • What Group and Team Coaching Are, Structuring Programs, Delivery options (in person/by phone);
  • Differences between group coaching and team coaching, differences and similarities with individual coaching;
  • The Continuum of Small Group Processes;
  • Fundamental Principles of working with groups and teams - group and team dynamics, adult education principles and experiential education;
  • Competencies for Group  and Team Coaching including Core Skills and Best Practices;
  • Engagement and Approaches for this work;
  • Tricky Issues in Group and Team Coaching - How to avoid them, and how to handle them when they happen
  •  Design and implementation tips (for pubic or corporate groups)
  • Virtual Facilitation Basics - What do do, what to avoid and how to facilitate engagement with phone, web and other virtual programs
  • Positioning the work for corporate engagements
  • Marketing Your Group Coaching programs
  • Corporate group and team coaching considerations
  • Exercises/Tools for Group and Team Coaching (which you will experience and be able to facilitate yourself!)
  • Group and Team Coaching Skill Practice and Feedback

A significant focus of the two day program is on practice and feedback on your skills with multiple opportunities to coach. Each coach is asked to bring a 25-30 minute group coaching process/exercise which they will run with the group.

This is a hands-on small group learning experience and the program is customized. There is usually a range of  4-8 coaches participating in any one Intensive.

We also offer the option for a handful of coaches to join us virtually for the program. For those joining us virtually you will be an active participant, but not having to travel!
