It covers key topics such as the definition and uses of group coaching, contracting and establishing goals, face to face versus virtual group coaching, group dynamics, the differences between a good coach and a good group coach, selecting a group coach, evaluating group coaching, creating viral coaching networks, the differences between team and group coaching and the business case for group coaching.
