Group Coaching Training Programme

What is Group Coaching Training?

The Group Coaching Training Programme is run solely twice a year to a small group of exclusive coaches. It has been designed to provide coaches with an in-depth understanding of groups, the skills needed to run groups, as well as the nuts and bolts of setting up and promoting group coaching programmes.

Coaches will have access to a range of resources as well as one to-one support, as the programme combines experiential sessions, supervision, and individual tutorials. All our Group Coaching Training sessions are delivered online. Coaches will have the opportunity to practice group coaching from the very beginning.

A comprehensive training programme led by Ana Paula Nacif, Wellbeing and Leadership Coach, that will equip coaches with the knowledge, skills and practical experience to deliver high-quality group coaching to their clients.

“Even with 10+ years experience of working with groups in a coaching context, I still gained immense value from this programme. Specifically, I learnt more about group coaching dynamics from both a theoretical and applied context, and had the opportunity to develop confidence in my group coaching skills throughout this programme, including through expert 1:1 and group supervision sessions. I highly recommend Ana Paula Nacif’s programme if you are serious about offering a quality service to your groups or organisations.”

“Ana’s group coaching course has been a game-changer for me. I have now run three group coaching sessions for a large charity and I am about to design and run a group session in a corporate organisation.”

Rachel Bishop

“I genuinely loved every minute of the Quantum Leap Group Coaching training and learned a lot throughout the course. There was an engaging mix of theory and practice to allow us to understand the research and theories involved in groups, but also the practicalities of running group coaching. I would thoroughly recommend this course for anyone who is considering group coaching as it makes you truly appreciate the power of the group!”

Emma Hill

“Ana inspired me to want to learn more about group coaching and I joined her training programme. Her passion for the subject is contagious and comes across in every session. The course is well planned, the format makes it convenient to fit into a busy schedule and maximise learning, the content includes theory and practical and the individual and group support given by Dr Nacif and Dr Giraldez-Hayes is invaluable. I would highly recommend this course to anyone thinking about developing their knowledge and skills about group coaching”

Susana Jaime

“Held lightly to think deeply. Ana created a space of challenge and acceptance, this may seem like an oxymoron, bear with me. Acceptance, enabled open personal and interpersonal challenge. Acceptance, brought safety and space to bring the best and worse of ourselves, to show up with integrity; owning it all. Challenge was high, uncomfortable, intriguing; the type of challenge that can only happen under safe conditions. For people who thrive in contradiction and thoughtful spaces, Ana and Andrea are a beautiful combination. I am full of appreciation.”

Hannah Butler

“Ana’s professional group coaching programme had for me all the elements of effective and worthwhile training – it was evidence based, well-structured and shared helpful resources. It also provided an opportunity to develop skills and learn from others in the small, diverse group and about myself in and through the group process and in the high quality supervision. It was sometimes challenging, but always fascinating and I left the training more confident and inspired to develop my own group coaching programmes. There is a magic that can happen in groups and in my experience Ana’s training and the model she offers helps us as coaches to unlock that. I highly recommend this training.”
