I know that there are coaching circles and practice groups running all over the world.
If you have never come across the term before then let me briefly explain, because the rest of this post will then make a lot more sense. 🙂 A coaching circle or practice group is when a group of coaches meet, discuss and practice coaching. Some coaching circles are run by a particular coach training supplier others are open to all so have a mix of approaches and experience.
The structure of a meeting may vary but it is very common for a group to have an invited speaker. These groups can provide opportunities to explore and play with new ideas, develop existing skills as well as network and meet some lovely people.
For the last 24 hours I’ve been looking for a list of coaching circles and practice groups and have yet to find one. Now this could be me looking in the wrong place so if you know that one exists then do let me know.
I want Coaching Confidence to provide useful and quality information and resources. I think that having a list of contact information for coaching circles and practice groups fits into that brief. Somewhere that anyone who fancies attending a coaching circle or practice group can look and find their nearest group.
So this is my invitation:
If you run a coaching circle or practice group
I will happily link to your group. To do that please fill in the information as requested on this contact form.
If you know of coaching circle or practice group but do not run it
Please help me to grow a list as a resource to others by either asking the group leader to contact me or telling me about the group so I can invite them directly.
