THE FUNDAMENTALS OF GROUP COACHING

Session Description
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.
Drawing inspiration from Karpman's Drama Triangle, this session is designed to remind us about the resourcefulness of others as well as getting more comfortable with 'not knowing', removing the need to 'fix' anything. Silent coaching questions will demonstrate their power and potency at an individual level with a simple journalling exercise that allows members to reflect on these. After discussing some fundamentals for asking great questions of each other, we'll offer a 'hot seat questioning' exercise where attendees will practice the crafting and serving of great questions in response to a live issue a member of the group brings.
Rather than the person in the 'hot seat' being expected to answer these, they will instead take a note of the question and share at the end which ones have been most useful.Â
Â
Session Outcomes
âž™ Notice when either ourselves or members of the group are being pulled into/caught up in the Drama Triangle, as well as some shift moves toward a more resourceful state
âž™ Experience the power of carefully crafted questions and the resourcefulness of our minds to solve problems for ourselves
âž™ Practice the design and delivery of great questions, as well as what it's like to be served these on a live issue you're grabbling with
