What makes powerful group coaching truly work? Spoiler alert: it’s not about being the most charismatic coach in the room or controlling every dynamic. In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, we unpack what it really takes to lead transformative group experiences that support deep connection, insight, and change.

You’ll learn why some groups “click” while others fizzle, and how to create conditions for trust and co-creation—without defaulting to a top-down, guru-style model. We explore the most common group coaching challenges: resistance, projection, disengagement—and how to meet them with grounded, skillful leadership.

We’ll also talk about the psychology of group behavior, how to normalize discomfort without shaming, and why setting expectations from the start (especially around things like perfectionism, vulnerability, and participation) creates the foundation for growth.

If you’ve ever felt uncertain about how to navigate a group that’s not gelling—or you want to elevate your facilitation from good to powerful—this episode is full of insights you can apply immediately.

Powerful group coaching isn’t about control. It’s about courageous leadership, deep listening, and trusting the process.
