Pathways to Transformation

As a group coach, your job is to facilitate change. Very simply, people join your group coaching program because they want change and expect you to support them in making change happen.  In facilitating the all important change for your learners, you're creating pathways to transformation that spell lasting change.

Change is good for your client and you know what else…it's good for you, too.

The key components when it comes to creating pathways to transformation are equally as simple:

Pathways to transformation are rich with metaphors and analogies. These metaphors illuminate new, different, and fresh perspectives. You want these new perspectives shared to be directly related to your client’s unique challenges with resolution as the goal. Everything you do in your group coaching must be focused, revealing, and full of yummy and relevant content specifically for your group learners.

Pathways to transformation also include heartwarming stories. When you share stories use real life examples from your life as well as others. It helps you connect more deeply with your group. Through your transparency, your learners grow comfortable sharing their own stories that ultimately support the entire group.

Pathways to transformation include relevant testimonies. A great testimony reveals details about the success the person has experienced as a direct result of the change. Her relevant testimony described how she learned to move beyond their issue to a create a more satisfying experience. Be sure to share some and make your group sessions a KEWL experience for everyone involved.

Pathways to transformation also include thought provoking questions. These are open-ended questions that challenge your learners to think REALLY hard before they respond.  Thought-provoking questions encourage deep thinking and the results are AWESOME! Just remember that the relevance of the questions must always lead back to the focus for your community of learners.

You're an integral part of creating and mastering these pathways to transformation for your group. In the process, you'll find that you're changed because you're also learning and growing.  You'll also discover your groups are attractive, compelling and the change is very powerful and lasting, too!
