Group Coaching

Group coaching via teleconference is convenient, affordable, and independent of the geographic location of the participants and the coach. You can call from anywhere, and return to your busy schedule immediately after the one-hour call. There are no travel expenses. There are two group coaching opportunities through the AWIS Coaching Program:

Career GROUP Coaching Exclusively for CJC Chapter, faciliated by Susan Morris, M.Ed, CPCC, ACC
$200 per month (non-member investment $265 per month)
Commitment: Two months

Considering the economy, AWIS members could benefit from private career coaching.  But individual coaching fees may be off-limits if you are watching your budget.  A more workable alternative is GROUP Career Coaching, just for CJC chapter members.

GROUP coaching is for a small group of 3 to 8 participants, meeting every two weeks by phone for a one hour conference call. 

The CJC Career Coaching GROUP will focus on career challenges, those you face as you are look for a new job/career and those you encounter as you advance along your chosen career path.

Benefits of CJC Career GROUP Coaching:

• Take advantage of group wisdom from those who live/work where you do
• Rapid sharing of best practices for mutual benefit
• Change more quickly since members hold each other accountable
• Integrate professional coaching from Susan Morris, AWIS Career Coach and CJC Career GROUP Coaching facilitator

The group will meet for two months (4 sessions). A two-month commitment is required. The group may elect to continue meeting after the initial two-month period.

First CJC Career GROUP Coaching phone session will be July 7, 2009 Noon to 1 PM

What Do We Focus On In The Group?

The specific topics to be addressed will be selected and prioritized by consensus of the group participants.  The following serves as a sampling, and each lends itself to much deeper learning and discussion—beyond a single meeting:

• Leadership Styles--the right choices for you and your team
• Leadership Skills--discussion of the top five
• Leading in the Four-Generation Workplace
• Coaching Skills and Competencies--practical applications to enhanced leadership
• Work-Life Balance--earn more/work less/reduce stress
• Behavioral styles--a quick and easy assessment
• Effective communication and negotiation skills
• Goal setting--for you and your teams How Does Group Coaching Work?
  

How does Group Coaching Work?

Group coaching via teleconference is convenient, affordable, and independent of the geographic location of the participants and the coach. You can call from anywhere, and return to your busy schedule immediately after the one-hour call. There are no travel expenses.

The leadership coaching group employs a workshop format in a semi-monthly 60-minute interactive telephone conference call. In general, leadership coaching groups are comprised of a cohesive group of people in a specific profession, company, industry or association. This  group is offered for female leaders in science, mathematics, engineering and technology. During a typical meeting you will receive insight, information, feedback, coaching, resources, tips, tools, techniques and valuable new ideas. Group coaching is interactive and dynamic, linking six to ten participants--in corporations, organizations, and/or associations who are geographically dispersed.

Participants in the group benefit from the experience, insights, coaching approach and facilitation of the coach, and also receive the following benefits (for themselves and their organizations) from other participants:  

• When working as a coaching group, participants can rapidly share their individual/team best practices, for mutual benefit. As a result, great ideas are quickly integrated and distributed world-wide.
• When working as a coaching group, participants can manage change quickly and respond without delay. As a result, change happens more smoothly and with less chaos.
• When working as a coaching group, company and organizational initiatives are reached more easily. As a result, the bottom line is positively impacted.
• When working as a coaching group, many years of combined wisdom from the participants accelerate the transfer of knowledge. As a result, each participant and her company reach their goals faster.

In consideration of your busy schedules any "assignments" between meetings will involve your normal professional activities, with the addition of selected "experiments", conversations, heightened observations, and noting any issues or difficulties to be discussed at our next meeting. Additional articles for further learning and application will also be provided. Each meeting will involve: checking in; topic of the day; shared wisdom and coaching; commitments to action.
