Group coaching call number 2! From here on out group coaching call will be fairly routine and should not require too much prep. Each of your group coaching calls will have a time to report numbers, provide updates (from last 4 weeks), discuss a topic, and have a time of Q&A where each resident provides a question to the group. In this call, you will need to be ready to provide a discussion topic for the group. You can come up with your own, but I have included a list of example topics in the agenda below. Remember that the goal with groups coaching calls is to facilitate discussion instead of leading it!
Prepping for the Call (15-30 minutes before the call):
Become familiar with the agenda below.
Take a look at the MTD activity tracking and PMR’s of each resident in the group coaching call. You will want to know beforehand who had good/bad weeks. This will help you ask direct questions or have someone speak on something if discussion ever slows down.
Pray!
Agenda—Group Discussion:
Small Talk
Allow everyone in the group to join the call. Please start right at 5 minutes after the agreed upon start time. We suggest sending texts to those who aren't on time.
Once everyone is connected, provide an overview of the call:
Quick reminder of who everyone is
Report Numbers
General Update from First 2 Weeks
MTD Rich and MTD Poor Discussion
Q&A (everyone will need to be ready with a question).
Group Discussion
- Report Numbers
Each person will take turns and report the following from LAST WEEK. Announce the order that you wrote down from the roll call:
Connection Attempts
Appointments Set Uo
Follow Up Calls (not attempts)
New Partners (any frequency, incl one time)
Finally, share current totals for promised gifts and received gifts
General Updates
In the same order, have everyone share how things have been going since the last group coaching call. How have connections attempts been going? What have appointments been like? Share wins and share struggles. Just a general update.
Have everyone share here, if someone isn’t engaged, ask them specific questions during their turn.
Discussion Topic:
You will come up with your own discussion topic, there might be one that is very relevant to your group in particular. If you need some ideas for discussion topics, there is a list other coaches have used in the past in the “Preparing for Group Coaching” section (pg. 12)
Q&A
Lastly, go around the room and have everyone ask a question for the group.
Let them know that not asking a question is not an option.
Encourage them to answer questions from their own experiences. As a coach, share your experiences as well, but feel free to provide answers for questions that you know the answer to.
Close with Prayer
Everyone share a prayer request for the week. Assign or ask someone to pray for that person daily for the week.
Everyone will have someone they are praying for and is praying for them
Either do so yourself or have someone close in prayer.
