The value of group sessions goes beyond financial. By participating in a group, your clients can provide inspiration for other in the group and also receive accolades from the other participants. This type of peer group can create real synergy in the lives of your clients, and often long term friendships are formed. If you are serious about starting your own <strong>group coaching<\/strong> programs, however, there are some important things you must address.<\/p>\n<h3>Adding Value to Your Group Coaching Programs<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1. Know your clients. It\u2019s hard to get to know individuals in a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">group coaching<\/span> program.

Some ways you can do this are to have each client share their top 3 goals with the group and allow 5 minutes at the beginning of the call for people to share any big wins or challenges since the previous call. When people know each other in the group, they feel more comfortable opening up and sharing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">3. Create a website where you can provide resources. This is a great value add. If you don\u2019t have any material you can start by posting replays of the group sessions. You can even edit each session down to a few separate posts and give them titles so people can search for a result that may have been covered in a previous session.<\/p>\n<h3>Consider That What You Are Offering Is Priceless<\/h3>\n<p>Many coaches don\u2019t value their own <strong>group coaching<\/strong> programs. When you consider that you create access to coaching that almost anyone can afford and at the same time provide the benefits of an empowering peer group, it can be a powerful addition to your other coaching programs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hope you took some great value out of this post today!
