For Coaches embarking on the business development side of their work, deciding how you plan to deliver your coaching services is an important factor in both how you attract your clients and profitability.
Group Coaching can be an effective and exciting way of delivering health and wellness coaching and one that your coaching business could greatly benefit from adding to your suite of coaching services and programs.
Although not a new concept, group coaching as a business model has gained attention in recent times as more people are eager to connect and share their experiences with others -whether that be a change in a specific area of their health such as drinking less, or have an affinity with the client group such as young mothers experiencing post-partum health change.
As a Health and Wellness Coach, the group coaching model is of huge benefit as you can use this as a way of finding new individual clients, enjoy the energy that is created when people come together and share stories and goals, appreciate the cost effectiveness of such a program, and you’ll be able to work with a niche or market that you want to tap into.
