It can be less intimidating than one-on-one coaching. And there is the benefit of the \u201cmastermind effect\u201d. But the greatest advantage of coaching groups comes when you are building high performance teams.<\/p>\n<h3>Launch the Group Using Assessments<\/h3>\n<p>Using assessments launches your coaching group with a bang. As the coach, you can share insights into the group\u2019s members and their interaction that even longtime team members don\u2019t have. This magic gives you instant credibility and can move you from newcomer to the inner circle in a single session.<\/p>\n<h3>Define the Roles and Rules within the Team<\/h3>\n<p>High performance teams are often referred to as \u201cwell oiled machines\u201d. And somehow that seems to make sense, but what does it actually mean? It means that each part knows what they are and what they are supposed to do. It means that each part knows the other parts and what their jobs are. It also means that each part is ready to provide what the other parts need to be successful. Each part can depend on the other parts. And a generous slathering of oil reduces friction to a minimum.<\/p>\n<p>Now think of a typical workplace team. How in tune is each person to their fellow workers? How much is each person there to provide just what their fellow workers need to succeed? How much \u2013 if any \u2013emotional \u201coil\u201d is there to help eliminate friction?<\/p>\n<p>Most teams will benefit tremendously by working through the roles and rules of the team. <strong>Group coaching<\/strong> is the best way to help your client do this.<\/p>\n<h3>Use Group Coaching to Get Your Client Moving in the Right Direction<\/h3>\n<p>Once your client\u2019s team is a \u201cwell oiled machine,\u201d it doesn\u2019t help much if it is moving rapidly in the wrong direction. Through <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">group coaching<\/span>, you can not only help all the members understand the overall business goals and their part in achieving them, but as a coach, you can also show each team member how working together they can satisfy their own four fundamental needs (the needs for love and connection, significance, variety and certainty), but how helping other team members satisfy their needs, they can best achieve their own fundamental needs. And once this happens you have just super-charged your client\u2019s well oiled machine!<\/p>\n<p><em>Hope you took some great value out of this post today!
