What are Life Development Groups?

Life Development Groups are a revolutionary breakthrough in method, in which coach and participants shift from a ‘me’ lens to a ‘we’ lens. In the process clients discover more of who they are and want to become. That paradox—the holding of both ‘we’ and ‘me’—turbocharges growth and builds community and belonging. Unlike traditional methods, which assemble like-minded individuals, Life Development Groups bring together diverse people with varied challenges to foster collective growth.

Client Benefits of Life Development Groups:

  • Turbocharged Growth: Accelerate personal and emotional development through group interactions.

  • Immediate Sense of Community: Build meaningful connections with a diverse group of participants.

  • Weekly Emotional Workout: Create and embrace a safe space for emotional exploration and growth.

Life Development Groups are a unique solution to combat the epidemic of loneliness in America, providing a niche coaching practice with financial sustainability.

The Conceptual Shift: Social Therapeutic Coaching

Social therapeutics is a groundbreaking coaching and therapeutic method that moves away from fixed categories and off-the-shelf tools. Instead, it creates tools customized to what’s emerging between client(s) and coach. The creativity and flexibility embedded in social therapeutic method is why it's used in all forms of coaching—from Executive and Leadership to Spiritual to Health & Wellness. This approach embraces group activity as the unit of human development, focusing on collective growth while also empowering individual change.

Core Principles of Social Therapeutic Coaching

  • Co-Creation with Clients: Collaborate with clients to develop strategies based on emerging needs and group dynamics.

  • Embracing Uncertainty: Build on the power of "not-knowing" to create transformative coaching experiences.

  • Commitment to Growth and Transformation: Empower clients to continuously transform their lives and relationships.

Practitioners trained in social therapeutics gain a comprehensive toolkit for guiding clients toward transformative emotional growth and relational development.
