This experiential workshop offers 4 innovative tools for leading group and team work. Growing our capacity as coaches to foster connection, community and belonging fuels the transformative power of group work for all participants. Get ready to bounce out of your comfort zone!
- How to coach to the team/group as a single entity rather than a collection of individuals
- How to coach participants to view themselves as group/team builders
- How to build and create with differences in the group
- How practicing relationality turbocharges client's capacity to give their embodied experience--in the moment--and transform what's possible in team/group work
- How Life Development Groups are becoming the new niche of coaching
In a culture completely overdetermined by individualism, how can we as coaches see and lead groups? Everyone from organizational psychologist Adam Grant to Weave founder David Brooks to neuroscientist John Cacioppo has embraced the fundamentality of human sociality. Growing our capacity to connect and create with others fuels the transformative power of group work.
The question everyone is grappling with is, "What new tools must we tap into to avoid taking individual-based practice models with us into group work?" This session offers well-established, innovative, methodological
answers that you can put to immediate use in your work.
Together we will explore the practical applications of social therapeutic coaching. Whether you are an executive or life coach, currently practicing or wishing to expand into group/team work, you will leave the workshop impacted by this bold approach to transformation.
Learning Objectives:
- Relationality. The ability for the coach to actively invite the group to consider how are we speaking and listening with one another? This can include inquiring of others how they are experiencing the group in the moment, or inviting someone to share the impact of others on them. This activity grounds participants' focus in the room on what/how the group is doing. That is the material to build with when it comes to cultivating trust and the sense of belonging that drives the most successful and innovative teams. It creates the space for honest presence, emotional risk taking and therefore, emotional growth and group transformation.
- The metaphor of performance: Performing ahead of oneself. We will introduce participants to key concepts in social therapeutics that fuse discoveries in human development and improv/the tools of theater. The concepts shift us into "seeing groups" rather than a collection of individuals who happen to be in the same room together.
- Building and creating with differences. Drawing on already introduced relationally and performing ahead of oneself, we will illustrate how coaches can partner with clients to practice radical acceptance during a group session, to learn to hear offers in what someone else is saying, even if they don't like what is being said. This is where language play comes in, assumptions get examined and new meanings get co-created by the group.
- Introduction to Life Development Groups. Finally, we will make the case for why Life Development Groups are the antidote to the epidemic of loneliness in America, and becoming a niche coaching practice which also offers financial sustainability. Life Development Groups break with the traditional model of assembling like-minded individuals with similar goals and shift into bringing together diverse people with diverse issues that they want to work on and grow around. The results are turbo-charged growth, offering an immediate sense of community and belonging. Participants quickly move out of being stuck and come to appreciate making space for a weekly emotional workout with others.
