Session Description
When leading 'rolling groups', (a group is continuous but may do enrollment at different times of the year), there can be beginners entering in on people already started on a process, as well as advanced group participants who are well on their way to achieving a goal.
- How do you keep the experience relevant to everyone?
- How do you encourage engagement without giving over coaching authority (ie: allowing an unsafe environment to develop wherein people step in to coach someone else in the group?)
- How do you foster mutual interest, support and engagement between sessions?
Rahti will address these challenges and more addressed so that you walk away with specific strategies to conduct group sessions with more clarity, confidence and effectiveness.
