The Secret to Building a Winning Group Coaching Program Get the Right People in the Room with Evan Marks

Yep, that's the whole game right there. Group coaching isn’t just about filling seats; it’s about filling the right seats. When you’ve got a group of people who are aligned, motivated, and ready to show up (not just physically, but mentally), that’s when the magic happens.

This article is your go-to guide for creating a group coaching experience where every single person contributes to the energy, the vibe, and the growth. Let’s dive into what it really takes to screen for success.

Why Screening is Non-Negotiable in Group Coaching

“The real work in group coaching happens before the first session,” says Chris Williams. That’s because the secret sauce is in the people you bring together. If they’re not a fit, no amount of strategy or structure will make your group thrive.

Screening isn’t just about figuring out who can afford to join or who’s got the time—it’s about finding those who are committed to growth and who’ll bring something valuable to the group dynamic. It’s about ensuring that everyone who walks through the door is not only ready to grow themselves but also ready to help others do the same.

When you nail this part, you create a group that’s more than the sum of its parts. You create a community.

"This journey shouldn't be punishing. Even when we're in challenging times, we're evolving. We're getting better. That's a commitment."
