From One to Many : Best Practices for Team and Group Coaching
|
Effective Group Coaching
|
Organizations are increasingly looking to group and team coaching processes for greater impact and cost savings, and to sustain learning initiatives which have often been weak in transfer or accountability.
Global organizations are also becoming more sensitized to the benefits a coaching culture can provide for their workforce. Thus, team and group coaching are taking root with very diverse groups—from boards and front-line managers to entrepreneurs and educators. From the practitioner’s perspective, many coaches now recognize the importance of expanding their practice into group and team coaching as additional modalities, recognizing the economic pressures for both individuals and organizations, and the additional impact these processes can provide. As group coaching becomes more mainstream, there is need for an advanced dialogue/resource on group coaching issues, and more practical resources to support coaching work with teams. There have been few practical resources to date that address both team and group coaching practices, and the requisite skills and approaches for coaches, leaders and HR professionals. Coaches hunger for deeper insights into many of the topics explored in From One to Many. Many organizations are also very eager to explore how team coaching and group coaching can be integrated into their organizational context. From One to Many explores these two interconnected modalities and provides practical tips, tools and resources for successful team and group coaching engagements. It also expands the lens to look at the players who are involved in capacity development and coaching many—peers, coach as leader, and mentors. The book was released in late July 2013 by Jossey-Bass. It has already been selected as a resource text by several coach training schools. You can find the book on Amazon. Here's what coaches are saying about the book: "Jennifer Britton has penned another winner! With From One to Many, Jennifer not only gives us a bird’s-eye-view perspective, but she also delves into the details we need to be successful as group and team coaches. I'm eager to incorporate this new material—not only into my course curriculum—but also into my own group coaching programs." —Jory H. Fisher, JD, www.JoryFisher.com “This remarkable resource gives coaches the necessary tools to expand their effectiveness and offer a group experience of connection and collaboration, providing an exceptional experience for many.” —Sandy Miller, MA, CPCC, ACC, www.revolutionizingdivorce.com "From One to Many is a must-read for coaches, whether experienced or new to group and team coaching. Jennifer combines extensive research, personal and peer experiences, practical applications, and a comprehensive set of tools and resources to deliver another excellent book for professional coaches." —Janice LaVore-Fletcher, MMC, BCC, President, Christian Coach Institute Effective Virtual Conversations (2017)
