Session Description
This presentation will highlight how to structure and design group coaching interventions that create the conditions for connection and belonging to emerge. Design and interventions are independent of the focus and learning outcomes of the group coaching. Participants can expect to learn:

-Group coaching practices, including design, coaching methodologies, and group composition, which foster trust, connection, and belonging.
-Interdisciplinary phenomena, including group processes, which arise in coaching groups and contribute to relational outcomes.
-Implications for practice. The presentation builds on the researcher’s graduate research exploring group coaching and positive relationships as well as extensive leadership development and coaching practice.
Stephanie will draw upon her experience running coaching groups among diverse populations in higher education, mixed-organization groups and, most recently, with senior leaders in healthcare.
