Are you in a program that has group coaching or mastermind calls? Are you making the most of that opportunity? Listen in with me on Episode 118 of just one simple thing, and you’ll learn four ways to supercharge your group experience.

Let’s talk a  little bit first about the difference been masterminding and group coaching.  We often use these terms interchangeably, but they are really two distinct types of interactions. Group coaching is led by the coach.  A mastermind is led by the group.

In group coaching, the coach may have a specific topic to cover or a question to answer posed by a group member.  They may teach by asking questions and leading group to their own answers.

In a mastermind, the conversation can be more free-flowing.  There is often one person on the “hot seat” and everyone else offers input and insight into an issue based on their own experience.

Now that we understand the difference between group coaching and masterminds, that leads into our first tip for making that most of them.

  1. Know what type of group interaction it is. If you aren’t sure, ask the leader.
  2. Prepare for your  mastermind hot seat.  Remember that the hot seat is ALL about YOU, and it can be the single most valuable source of ideas and direction.
  3. Help the person on the hot seat get to the heart of the issue by asking pointed questions and reframing the problem.  Sometimes the most casual comment can make all the difference.
  4. Group coaching is NOT all about you.  If you coach asks for suggestions on questions she could answer during your group coaching session, this is the time to ask some of the bigger picture questions that may be applicable to several others in the group.

So there ya go … group coaching is driven by the coach and all about what you learn from her.  Masterminds are driven by the participants and how they can learn from each other.
