• What is group coaching?
Our themed Group Coaching sessions are a combination between 1-on-1 coaching and group work. It is a way to discover new concepts and customized strategies to apply in your specific area of interest, so you can overcome challenges and build a better foundation for your future.
• The sessions also include experiential exercises that invite to self-reflection lead by a facilitator (professional coach), and structured small group discussions to tap into the group synergy and get more insights on what you can do in your specific situation.
• The coaching group is interactive, has maximum 6 participants who meet with the group facilitator via Zoom (every other week), and the small group discussions take place in breakout rooms.
• At the end of each session you’ll choose:
• Your homework: what you want to work on (your actions) until the next session, based on your takeaways from this session
• A reminder: something that will remind you to take chosen actions, so you can progress from one session to another
• An Accountability Buddy to reach out to if you need some clarifications, report your progress between the sessions, and to help each other stay motivated. We recommend pairing with another group member since both of you were exposed to the concepts and strategies presented in that session.
• The group coaching members sign a confidentiality agreement, so you can feel at ease participating in the group and reach out to your accountability buddy.
• Our group coaching sessions nurture a supportive and collaborative environment, which allows both individual attention and meaningful interactions. This way, the group sessions become a safe playground for working toward your goals and practicing the new skills and strategies learned.
• Group size: maximum 6 participants
• Group sessions: every other week (3 month package)
• Do you offer group coaching on specific themes?
Yes. The themes for group coaching are similar to the areas covered by the Introverts Academy‘s Curriculum Wheel (see image). The Money topic is included in the Meaningful Career and Small Business coaching groups. Click on the theme you’re interested to join the corresponding coaching group:
• What are the benefits of group coaching?
• The Coaching component of this type of group will help increase your awareness and equip you with strategies, so you can empower and motivate yourself to overcome challenges while learning skills needed to progress in the desired direction. Through self-reflection, experiential exercises, and small-group discussions, you’ll identify limiting beliefs that are holding you back and replace them with new (more empowering) perspectives.
• The sessions’ main topics will be chosen based on the participants’ interest, in alignment with the group theme. The participants receive a questionnaire at the beginning, to help the facilitator understand each participant’s needs, challenges, and desired outcomes – to design the sessions accordingly).
• Each themed coaching group has an Accountability Buddy system and requires homework between sessions to ensure that you take responsibility for your progress – a key element if you want to advance from one session to another toward your goal(s).
• By joining such a group, you’ll immerse yourself in an environment of like-minded people who are as determined as you to improve their personal and/or professional lives. As you probably experienced, when you start working on yourself or chose a different path, some people close to you might not understand your motivation or support your efforts. Although they might have good intentions, their perspective about you want to do might simply be different than yours. Being surrounded by like-minded – like in our coaching group – will give you more energy and motivation to pursue the direction you want.
• The positive and collaborative environment we create in each coaching group will also give you a sense of belonging, and a safe platform to voice your fears and challenges – as vulnerable it could be otherwise – so you can push through to advance toward the results you want.
• The Group Coaching 3 Month Package also gives you access to additional benefits, as mentioned in the section What’s the time commitment and group coaching fees?
• We will soon introduce a Group Facilitator training and as a group coaching member (or former participant) you can get a discount. Going through this training will enhance your coaching and facilitation skills, learn concepts and techniques to advance your career or business. You’ll could also apply to help us facilitate similar coaching groups, to help others.
• What’s the time commitment and group coaching fee?
Time Commitment
• The themed coaching group members meet every other week with the facilitator (coach) for a duration of three months. Since participants go through different situations and challenges, we allow them to progress their own pace.
• Besides the sessions, the facilitator holds a monthly Q&A session for our themed coaching group. Attendance is optional and the session will be recorded. You can send your questions in advance, so the recording can include the answers for you.
• To stay in touch with the other participants, help each other, and ask questions between the sessions, you have access to the themed specific online community.
• Throughout the sessions, you might identify challenges related to other themes from our Curriculum Wheel. If that happens – or you’re interested in more than one themed group coaching from the beginning – we suggest to be enrolled in one group at a time so you can focus on learning and implementation to see progress toward your aim.
• You will also have access to the Introverts Academy’s Facebook and LinkedIn groups to meet other students and friends of Introverts Academy, to be part of a like-minded community.
• If you want to continue for another 3 month period, let the facilitator know. The themed group coaching has a waiting list and your request will be given high priority.

• Who can benefit from group coaching?
Reading books and taking courses can help you to increase awareness about certain topics. However, they usually fall short in helping you to customize the content according to your specific situation and challenges. Also, they rarely keep you accountable and stay motivated while implementing the learning, so you can progress in the desired direction.
If you feel frustrated, stressed out, demotivated, or confused regarding any area of the Introverts Academy Curriculum Wheel – or simply want to take your personal and professional life to the next level – the group coaching will offer you this opportunity without breaking the bank. And you’ll also benefit from the group coaching discussions and support from other participants.
As a well-known Latin principle says – Docendo discimus – the best way to learn is to teach! If you like to help others, being part of a group coaching allows you to learn by helping each other through the Accountability Buddy system and the small group interactions.
If you prefer to interact and learn in an empathetic and collaborative environment, the online group coaching offers you this opportunity. That’s the type of environment we like to nurture, which can help even those who are shy, anxious, or simply love to observe.
Last, but not least: the more committed you are to help yourself… the more you’ll benefit from joining a group coaching!
If you notice that your progress through group coaching is not fast enough for you – or you prefer an interdisciplinary approach – we also offer 1-on-1 coaching. Let your group facilitator know or send an email to hello [at] introvertsacademy.org
• Who should not join a group coaching?
• If you’re the type of person with an “I know it all” attitude, you probably won’t get much out of themed group coaching sessions – simply because people with such an attitude are not curious enough to see if there are other perspectives and strategies that might help (which they didn’t consider yet).
• If you like to advance at faster speed you’re probably better suited for 1-on-1 coaching. Contact us for more details.
