As you prepare for our first class which is our official first day of week two, consider the following questions.
What drew you to this offering?
What is your past experience with group coaching?
What goals, visions, and intentions do you have for yourself during and after this course for group coaching?
Our time together will be spent discussing various aspects of group coaching. We have time to integrate and apply the teachings to your practice. We will utilize all participant group time, small group breakout sessions, develop SMART goals, and practice together.
During each week between our live Zoom meetings there will be information such as articles, recorded lessons, work/play book, and suggested activities shared for you to review and complete. This will open our time together for more interaction, question and answer time, and practicing.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
We are looking forward to getting to know you and about your coaching dreams!

Prescreening Articles and Resources List
Health Coach Client Intake Form Template and Examples
Conducting thorough health assessments is not just a routine task for health coaches; it's a critical component of effective wellness management that can significantly impact a client's overall health and well-being. A comprehensive health coach intake form template can streamline this process, ensuring detailed and consistent documentation of each client's health status and goals.

This short blog nicely articulates the high level outcomes you are looking for in the prescreening process. This is designed for individual coaching, so I would add that you are not only looking for their fit with the coaching process, but also their ability to be present and contribute meaningfully to a group experience. You can ask questions such as “What do you hope to get out of this group experience?” “Have you been part of group experiences in the past?” to learn more about their intentions and fit for the group process. https://www.personal-coaching-information.com/pre-coaching-conversation.html
