Collective Growth, Shared Insight

Group Coaching 

Group coaching creates a powerful space for people to learn together, share experiences, and build strategies for growth. At Coach 1st, our group coaching programmes are rooted in International Coaching Federation (ICF) principles, ensuring each participant is respected as resourceful and capable of generating their own insights. By combining reflective questioning, active listening, and shared accountability, group coaching enables individuals to learn both from the coach and from one another. The result is a dynamic environment where collective wisdom inspires personal and organisational progress.

Education Organisations

In schools, colleges, and universities, group coaching provides students and staff with the opportunity to explore challenges, build resilience, and develop transferable skills for the future. For learners, group coaching sessions encourage reflection on strengths, goals, and career aspirations, fostering a sense of ownership over their development. For educators and academic staff, group coaching can address issues such as workload management, collaboration, and professional growth. By working together, participants develop clarity and confidence, improving outcomes for both individuals and the wider learning community.

Training Organisations

Group coaching is a valuable complement to skills training, providing participants with the space to reflect on how they apply what they learn. While training delivers knowledge and tools, group coaching helps embed these skills by encouraging participants to explore challenges, share experiences, and commit to action. In training organisations, group coaching creates an environment where learners hold each other accountable, refine their approaches, and support one another in applying new behaviours. This reflective process ensures that learning translates into measurable results and long-term change.

Charities

For charities and not-for-profit organisations, resources are often stretched and teams face unique pressures. Group coaching provides staff and volunteers with a supportive environment to build resilience, share ideas, and find innovative ways to respond to challenges. Rooted in ICF values of trust and collaboration, sessions encourage individuals to explore their purpose, align with organisational values, and build motivation. Group coaching can strengthen team cohesion, improve communication, and create renewed energy, enabling charities to continue delivering impact while supporting the wellbeing of their people.

Corporate Organisations

In corporate settings, group coaching is a strategic way to develop leadership capability, support cultural change, and enhance collaboration. Unlike training programmes that focus solely on knowledge transfer, group coaching enables participants to reflect, challenge assumptions, and develop solutions together. It fosters peer learning, accountability, and trust, which in turn improve performance and engagement across the organisation. Whether focusing on emerging leaders, departmental teams, or cross-functional groups, group coaching provides a platform for individuals to align personal goals with organisational objectives. The result is stronger collaboration, higher motivation, and improved staff retention.

Group coaching offers a unique opportunity for individuals and organisations to grow collectively while maintaining the reflective, client-led principles of professional coaching. By creating a balance of learning, reflection, and action, our programmes empower groups to achieve clarity, accountability, and meaningful progress.
