Why are you using group coaching?

Coaching helps a person go in the direction they want to go, and enables sustainable change from within. Through coaching a person learns how to convert what they have inside them into tangible action. Guidance and coaching often take place in a person’s immediate circle, within the same geographical area regionally or nationally or within different organisations.  All of these approaches to coaching work. However, GLOW4equality makes professional coaching available to those who may not normally have access to it, and delivers it online in remotely located groups focused on a shared goal. In this way, GLOW4equality’s coaching program also enables women to create global networks to solve issues related to gender equality, thus accelerating and scaling up efforts worldwide.

A certified coach will lead the group’s participants by asking questions, not providing answers, so as to illuminate different perspectives, clarify arguments and create insight.
