Coaching Groups

Coaching works very well in a group format.  Participants with similar goals, values, and/or challenges can benefit from the shared wisdom, support, and feedback of other members.  We utilize a conference call format, so the customer benefits from the both the convenience (no driving or parking!), and the structure and accountability of weekly phone calls.

A coaching call prep sheet is e-mailed to participants prior to each coaching group.  The prep sheet has useful questions such as: 

What were your biggest challenges this week?
Biggest accomplishments?
What am I avoiding?

Each participant e-mails their responses to entire group prior to the call.  Therefore, the clients set the agenda.

Currently Explore Options Consulting is offering two telephonic coaching groups:

Coaching Group for Psychotherapists, date TBA.

POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY PATIENTS:  STAY ON TRACK.  Coaching group for individuals who have received bariatric surgery for weight reduction. 

The next group will begin in September.  Space is limited, so reserve your spot today.

In the group format, the participants on the call set the agenda according to their individualized goals, challenges, and opportunities.  Each person responds to a coaching call prep form, which is e-mailed to the entire group prior to the call.  Participants use the shared wisdom, support, and feedback of the group, along with the structure and accountability of weekly phone calls to move forward on their individualized action plans.  Topics may include: staying on track with nutritional and exercise goals; creating strategies for managing body image concerns and relationship challenges; and long-term maintenance of attitudes and actions that support a healthy lifestyle.

Coaching is not psychotherapy or counseling, and it is not a substitute for these services.  Coaching provides tools to empower individuals to actively pursue their desired outcomes.
