Have you ever thought about creating a group coaching program, but didn’t know where to start? It’s simpler than you might think, and this post will show you how to get your very own group started. There are just a few steps that are crucial to make sure your coaching program is a success.

Group Coaching Made Simple

1. Get a conference line that allows you to record calls, such as FreeConferenceCall.com. Make sure you record and save each call. At the beginning of each call they must press a key to acknowledge they are being recorded. You should also put an agreement to be recorded in your coaching agreement that they sign.

2. On the first call, have each participant share their top 3 goals. Spend a few minutes with each of your coaching clients to make sure their goals are not only clear to you, but to the rest of the group as well.

3. Once everyone is clear about what they want out of the group coaching program, ask individuals what result they would like to get out of the call. Spend 15-20 minutes of laser coaching for each request. Although each client is unique, the issues that most people face are universal and everyone on the call will receive value. When you transform one person you will shift the others on the call as well. Remember the last time you passively watched a movie that made an impact on how you felt and thought about something?

4. Begin and end each call with some accountability from everyone. At the beginnings of the calls go through the list of people who committed to action at the end of the last call. Just knowing that they are committing in front of a group is enough to motivate most people to get things done, in a peer pressure way. If you have good accountability skills, this portion of your group coaching calls will be even more powerful.

5. Post your recordings on a secured website for your clients. If you go through 3 topics in a single call, then create 3 separate posts. Give each a catchy name that describes the result they should get from the session. Within a few months you will be well on your way to creating a valuable library.

The Key Is To Get Started

Some people are hesitant to start group coaching programs because they don’t feel that they know everything. In many ways, it’s not so different to coach in a group. Just make sure you are there fully for your clients and the results they want, and don’t allow yourself to make the sessions about whether you are nervous or not. You will grow as a coach along with your group.
