After delivering over a hundred coaching programs, I\u2019ve uncovered 3 key aspects a group coaching program usually offers: <\/span>Content, Coaching, and Community.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In Part 1 of this blog series<\/span><\/strong><\/a>,<\/span> we focused on content creation and the different types of content:\u00a0 pre-created, on the go, and hybrid. In Part 2, we\u2019ll take a closer look at coaching and cover these specific topics:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Definition of coaching<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Different ways to deliver coaching as part of your group programs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n

    \"\"Definition of Coaching:<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

    The purpose of coaching is to inspire others to take action.\u00a0 If people could get results just by buying a program there would be no purpose for coaching.\u00a0 So, ultimately, the goal of coaching is implementation support.\u00a0 When clients get stuck they look for support.\u00a0 They need to get unstuck and that\u2019s when coaching is invaluable.\u00a0 Coaching is implementation support clients need to move forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    How do coaches help clients get unstuck?<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

    Coaches can help their clients in between calls by providing homework and exercises for the client.\u00a0 The purpose of these assignments is to help those clients get unstuck.\u00a0 The process of working through those exercises and meeting with the coach helps clients achieve insight.\u00a0 They get unstuck and move forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    For example, in one of my group coaching programs, I help clients create their first virtual summits.\u00a0 I could sell that program as a 7 module course and a client could follow the steps.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

    However, the reason I deliver the virtual summit as a group coaching program is that I know clients will get stuck.\u00a0 They will encounter mindset issues or fear and not be able to move forward.\u00a0 For this reason, coaching is invaluable.\u00a0 And I believe coaching should be included in your programs even if you feel like the material is enough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
