Coaching Circles are group coaching programs with a strong emphasis on meaningful connections, shared learning, and inspiring conversations.
What is group coaching?
By definition, group coaching is the application of coaching principles to a small group for the purposes of personal and/or professional development, the achievement of goals, deepening self-awareness, new learning and peer support.
Group coaching is grounded in an experiential approach, where participants are engaged and in control of their learning and agendas. Group coaching also means a participatory program – where participants are actively involved throughout – not just passive listeners on the call and/or within the program.
One of the best ways to support our own development and learning processes is to spend time with people going through and/or interested in similar things. Linking people together to learn, discover and grow in a network of mutual support through the creation of coaching circles is a tried and true method for helping people define and achieve their goals.
Coaching Circles are ideal for individuals, groups of people or groups within an organization or company who:
- are working on a specific issue eg: goal setting, stress management, work-life balance, peer support/team building, leadership development, business development, etc.
- prefer the energy and dynamic of a group setting
- are working on a common goal, theme, outcome or project
- want a cost effective and dynamic coaching experience
- prefer to support and be supported by others in working towards their goals
The benefits of group coaching include:
- greater levels of support and accountability
- feeling like a member of a team/group/community and that you are not on your own
- the opportunity to hear many perspectives
- the potential for exponential growth via the group’s structure
- being able to contribute to other peoples’ lives while achieving your own goals
- affordability

A comfort tip: buy a headset to plug into your phone so that you can be hands free – to move, take notes, rest your arms… remember physical comfort is an important part of learning.
