The Nuts & Bolts

1. Introduction to you, each other and the topic content

2. Start to explore what the topic is about – check understanding (i.e what is rapport?)

3. Get them to think about where they are in relation to that topic (i.e how they use their body language)

4. Run a group activity & ask some coaching questions around the topic area

How Will They Help Me In My Business?

• A great way to get your name out in the local area

• When networking you have a ‘product’ to talk about rather than trying to sell coaching itself

• Clients get to know and like you which can lead into working on a 1-2-1 basis with them

• A great way to build your coaching skills – you get to

practice live on a group of clients so expand your repertoire exponentially

• Low cost to set up©Ruby McGuire 2014

Why Group Life Coaching AsOpposed to 1-2-1?

• It doesn’t have to be an either/or situation – the two can go hand in hand

• They give you the opportunity to meet new people that you might not have met before, which can then lead to client conversion

• Being realistic – how many hours do you have to work to earn the rate you want to be paid? These sessions help you to leverage your time

• Cappuccino Coaching Sessions help you to build build your practice along the way
