About the Course
There is nothing more exciting than leading a dynamic, deliciously powerful group of people as they look at how to transform their lives.
And, don’t we all know what it’s like when a group is silently non-supportive, or even openly irritated with each other?
Consider this:
- There are powerful forces at the core of all groups.
- If you know what they are, and how to use them, you’ll be successful in keeping the group’s members focused, effective, and productive.
- As a result, you’ll provide huge value to participants.
When you are not aware of the group’s energy, or don’t know how to work with it, you end up frustrated or discouraged. You know your group needs something from you that you’re not providing. When this happens you might begin to work harder than you need to. This is definitely not necessary!
In this interactive, face-to-face course, you will be given specific strategies and skill sets that will empower you to lead productive and highly-rewarding groups.
You will learn:
- Why people get nervous in groups, and how to help them relax and participate fully.
- How to create an atmosphere of trust within the first twenty minutes of working with a group.
- Why the worrisome thoughts you think while leading a group may not be your own thoughts.
- What “group mind” is and how to work with it to produce maximum impact.
- How to work with a group such that each person gets full value from the conversation, whether or not you have personally interacted with them.
- The primary differences between working with individuals and working with groups.
- How to keep the momentum going when it appears the energy is waning.
Whether you are taking this course to build your coaching practice, to conduct productive staff meetings, or to work with community groups, you will leave with strategies and skill sets that you can apply to any group you lead. Guaranteed!

How to get the most out of this online course
We’ve developed a method to help you get full value from your time in this course in virtual setting:
- In order to get the most out of this experience, we invite you to treat these this course as a retreat. This is important time just for you!
- Please turn your phone off or put it in “Do Not Disturb” during the sessions. Close your email and other programs during the sessions, so you can be fully present to everything that’s happening.
- Don’t schedule other plans on the breaks. In addition, there will be some work to do in between sessions, and we encourage you to give yourself the time and space to both do the preparation work, and get plenty of rest.
- Communicate with your family and/or housemates. Let them know that you won’t be available during the course times, and make a plan for anything they may need from you ahead of time.
- To give yourself the best possible experience, we suggest you find a private space in your home where you will be undisturbed during the course. You may want to do something special to decorate it for the course. Maybe add flowers, plants, or artwork. Get creative!
