Group coaching
Group coaching, which can also be referred to as peer group coaching, brings together a group of employees for a specific purpose or goal.
For example, peer coaching groups may bring together new people leaders, a leadership peer group, or high-potentials. Unlike training, where content develops competency in a given topic through lectures or activities, group coaching takes place in a collaborative environment.

How Does Group Coaching Work?
The coach facilitates discussions and runs structured activities for the peer group to bring different viewpoints, insights, and knowledge to light that ultimately encourage learning, growth, and complex problem-solving. Ultimately, the goal of peer coaching groups is to help employees discover alternative viewpoints, provide an opportunity to give and receive feedback and build relationships that are based on trust and a shared experience, which extends long after the peer group coaching program or initiative concludes.
