A Hybrid Approach
Coaches should take some caution in integrating a hybrid approach if they are undertaking team coaching work, especially if you are coaching the entire team system. It may be better to bring in an additional coach to undertake that individual coaching work.
In the spirit of sustaining the conversation, learning partners or buddies may be assigned or created at the start of the coaching process to meet in between the coaching touch-points. There are several benefits to learning partners including promoting Connection, Trust and Intimacy within group, as well as deepening conversation around key topics in between sessions. If coaching conversations/sessions are spread out because of availability or budget constraints, learning partners can play a significant role in sustaining and deepening learning and action over time. If learning partners are included in organizational programming, these new relationships can lead to enhanced capacity development.
Individual reflection may involve the provision of questions to reflect and write upon, structured journaling, or work which can be completed in the moment provide pause points for individuals during the coaching process. Individual reflection opportunities are effective in-person, online, during a session, or between sessions
Hybrid approaches or a mix of 1-1 and Group Coaching Conversations can be very useful in a group coaching context. Participants get the breadth of the group coaching conversation, as well as the depth of the individual conversation. This hybrid approach allows for focus on core foundations and common interest areas of the group. It allow allows each individual client an opportunity to explore their own interest areas in a more focused way.
Coaches may suggest possible focus areas for learning partners to explore together, or they may work with the learning partners to identify their own focus areas. Coaches should check in with the buddies to see what insights and/or best practices they would like to share with the rest of the group.
Key Questions
To consider with your Group Coaching
- What are the preferences of the group members you work with (reflection, conversation, movement, writing)?
- What approaches do you wish to incorporate into an upcoming program?
- What value will it add?
- How will it support trust, connection and engagement in the group?
- My next steps are …
Field work is an important component throughout the coaching process in support of action, awareness, deepening insights. Field work can be designed to support your group or team members in taking action and/or developing awareness around issues you are coaching on. For example, field work for a team having challenges in difficult conversations may involve having them individually complete a conflict self-assessment in order to gain further awareness around their conflict style.
Field work can also be designed to sustain the conversation and learning in between sessions. You may have group members pair up and meet in between your sessions.
Coaches who facilitate virtual group and team coaching programs may find that field work is essential in leveraging the time you have together, enabling you to use the call time to discuss insights gleaned during field work amongst group members. One of the most valuable components of any group or team coaching process is the peer sharing that occurs. Strategically think about what will set the group up best for the dialogue.
Finally, field work provides an opportunity for those that value more time for reflection and preparation. This could include an assessment or other work.
