Check Out Some of the Lineup
Day 1
How Group Coaching Catalyzes Organizational Transformation
Managing the forces that influence your business growth, especially in the context of integrating group coaching into a client organization, involves a multifaceted approach. It requires a deep understanding of both the organization's needs and the unique value that group coaching can provide. Hear from Marsha Prosepere PCC on how to create a compelling business case for group coaching, avoid the common marketing pitfalls, and ensure value creation for both members and yourself.
Infusing Adult Education Practices into Group Coaching
To put it simply - adults learn differently than kids. In our group coaching programs, we need to leverage the power of experiences and knowledge your members have. In this session, Allison will demonstrate how to infuse adult learning theory into your curriculum and delivery so that your clients move the needle forward in their goals.
The Magic of Storytelling for Profound Group Connections
The art of storytelling is as ancient as human culture itself. Skillful use of storytelling is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal as coaches and facilitators. In this session, Gabe will share some best practices and practical exercises he's used in dozens of group settings to create quick, powerful, and lasting connection among group participants with simple storytelling exercises. Together, we'll dive into the power of story to create depth, safety, memorable connection, and tangible learning outcomes.

Trusting in the Resourcefulness of Groups and Delighting in Not Knowing
The temptation for many leaders is to try to 'fix' problems of those around them. Not only does this encourage a culture of dependency, but it can limit the development of others, as well as resulting in the leader's workload becoming unmanageable.
This dynamic can play out in group coaching too, whether from individuals in the group adopting a 'hero' role or even unintentionally from coaches themselves.... More on this huddle's page!
Leveraging AI for Reflection in Coaching Supervision: A Guide for Group Coaches
Group coaching presents unique complexities distinct from individual sessions, highlighting the significance of coaching supervision as an effective approach for ongoing professional development. Coaching Supervision not only bolsters your capacity as a coach but also substantially benefits your group participants. This session explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to elevate your reflective practice on your group coaching engagements... More on this huddle's page!

Being with my coaching colleagues this week was deeply nourishing and delightful. I forget how much this sort of connection matters, when I get lost in my sessions with clients. I love my clients!
