Group coaching

Organisations these days face growing pressure for increased results from fewer people and therefore need to invest heavily in learning and development. Yet expenditure on training and development does not always produce results for individuals or their organisations. Neither does individual learning always integrate with organisational needs. Something different is needed.

Our group coaching is based on self managed learning principles, a way of creating a situation where learning is owned by the individual and aligned with organisational needs. Individuals take responsibility for decisions about their learning in the real organisational world. They join a group of 5 people and the group supports them in their learning as well as providing challenge. Individuals negotiate a learning contract and report progress on it. Each group has a coach to take them through the process, which usually involves meeting about every six weeks over a period of nine months.

Organisations using this approach cite business benefits such as cost savings, improved customer relations, lower staff turnover and an improved organisational culture.

Our people can advise on establishing a group coaching scheme, provide coaches for groups and a one day fast track coaching course for people who join them.
