Beyond the Dyad: Understanding Group Coaching

Are you a coach looking to learn more about Group Coaching? Peer group coaching (PGC) has grown in popularity as a cost-effective learning and development solution for individuals and organizations. When delivered skillfully, it can provide a fertile context for learning by easing isolation, spreading useful knowledge and ideas, and fostering critical reflection that leads to new ways of thinking about old problems.

However, coaching in this setting requires understanding the complex and often mystifying social processes that shape learning and change in groups. A group coach must create a learning environment large enough for multiple people, must be able to process difficult feelings that arise for group members, and must create sufficient safety for group members to engage in the risks associated with learning.

In this webinar I did for the Fielding Evidence Based Coaching community, I explored three different approaches to Peer Group Coaching—each with its own basis in theory and research. Find out how goal-focused, analytic, and narrative approaches differ from one another—and how the are alike! Learn about the different levers and tools coaches use when they coach from these perspectives. Check it out!
