Enhance your capability through all hazards group coaching
Often, I hear group and team coaching used interchangeably; however, they are very different.
All Hazards Group Coaching works with individuals, in a group, who have a common role but work for different organizations. Work with a coach and group to enhance YOU.
All Hazards Team Coaching is for teams that fall under the same leadership. Work with a coach and your team to enhance WE.
“Become a better disaster risk professional, emergency manager, leader, incident commander, or command or general staff member”
In her book Group Coaching: A Comprehensive Blueprint Ginger Cockerham defines group coaching as ”a facilitated group process led by a skilled professional coach and created with intention of maximizing the combined energy, experience, and wisdom of individuals who choose to join in order to achieve organizational objectives or individual goals”
Coaching expert Jennifer J. Britton defines group coaching as “the application of coaching principles to a small group for the purposes or personal or professional development, the achievement of goals, or greater self-awareness, along thematic or non-thematic lines”.
Group coaching in the context of All Hazards Coaching adheres to the same definitions with some clarity on how it applies to emergency management. For example:
The Next Generation Emergency Management Core Competencies are integrated within All Hazards Coaching.
All Hazards Group Coaching sessions will maintain a span of control where the group will range from four to eight participants,
It meets FEMA’s National Incident Management System 2011 Training Program’s Adult Learning in emergency management principles, and
It uses an interdisciplinary approach to forming groups in order to maximize learning to expand across prevention/mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery, and disaster resilience.
Focus areas for All Hazards Group Coaching:
Becoming a better disaster risk professional, emergency manager, leader, incident commander, or command or general staff member
