Far more often than not, meetings are a complete waste of time. The leader doesn\u2019t do their homework. Attendees come unprepared. And there are never enough ham-and-swiss-on-rye sandwiches to go around. Unfortunately, your clients enter your group coaching<\/strong><\/a> sessions in a meeting state of mind.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Facilitate. Agitate.<\/h3>\n

It is critical from the very first moment to interrupt their \u201cmeeting mindset.\u201d You have to startle them into consciousness. And you don\u2019t do that by \u201cfacilitating.\u201d So unless you hold your group coaching<\/strong> sessions in a hot tub, your first goal is to establish yourself as THE COACH. Establish a higher standard of achievement. I always ask myself: \u201cWhat would Vince Lombardi do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ask the Tough Questions. Then Wait for the Answers<\/h3>\n

Now this is the tricky part \u2013 a real balancing act. You are not the \u201cBOSS\u201d \u2013 that\u2019s the one at the head of the conference table \u2013 and you probably are not a coach with four season contract. So how do you make both the boss and Vince proud of you? EASY! Remember that the person asking the questions is the one in control. So in your group coaching<\/span>, just keep asking those really tough questions. And then wait for your clients to come up with the answers. You do your job. Make them do theirs.<\/p>\n

In Group Coaching, It Pays to Have a Winning Record<\/h3>\n

Businesses are in business to make a profit. Profits come from satisfying customers and controlling costs. Each of these comes from successfully implementing excellent business plans. Your clients call you in and will be happy to pay you the big bucks, if your group coaching<\/strong> makes a MEASURABLE difference in their achieving their goals \u2013 I mean profits. So if you want to have your contract extended, you better know how they are keeping score, and when they look at the scoreboard they all say to themselves: \u201cWay to go, Coach!<\/p>\n
