An Interactive Interpersonal Learning Group for Coaches, Leaders, and Therapists

This group is designed for professionals who want to deepen self-awareness, explore relational dynamics, and expand their capacity for authentic leadership. Through real-time interpersonal interactions, we will examine:

• Shadow work and unconscious patterns that shape our interactions

• Our relationship with power and its influence in our roles

• Engaging in more real conversations and personal disclosure about diversity issues

• Cultivating curiosity when engaging with perspectives different from our own

This is not just a discussion group—it is an experiential space for personal and professional transformation.

What to Expect

• Meeting Schedule – The group meets every other week for 90 minutes via Zoom.

• Group Structure – There is no set agenda. Any member is welcome to bring a topic for exploration.

• Group Size – Limited to 8 members to ensure meaningful participation.

• Reflection Process – After each session, members complete a guided written reflection via Google Forms, shared with the rest of the group. These reflections include prompts designed to:

  • Explore personal reactions to group dynamics and interpersonal exchanges.

  • Identify shadows and implicit biases that emerge during discussions.

  • Deepen self-awareness by examining emotional responses, patterns, and triggers.

  • Enhance the group learning experience through shared insight and vulnerability.

• Outside Contact – While optional, some members find additional support and friendships beneficial.

• Discussion Forum – An optional closed forum allows members to share insights, resources, and encouragement.

• Additional Resources – Periodic posts from the group leader offer supplemental videos, articles, and tools for deeper engagement.

The goal is to create a safe, open space where members can learn from one another, deepen self-awareness, and engage in honest reflection.

Group Approach & Methodology

This group operates on the social microcosm model, focusing on here-and-now interactions:

• The emphasis is on how members relate to one another rather than solely discussing external life issues.

• Personal experiences may be shared, but primarily as a lens to explore present group dynamics.

• The group serves as a social laboratory to observe personal patterns, relational dynamics, and emotional responses.

• Through in-the-moment reactions, feedback, and self-expression, members gain insight into historical wounds and barriers to intimacy, power, and emotional freedom.

• The guided written reflections further support this process by bringing awareness to unconscious reactions and deepening personal insight.

This model, popularized by Dr. Irvin Yalom, requires a willingness to be honest, express oneself, and remain curious about the experiences of others.

Ground Rules

To ensure a safe and effective space, all members are expected to follow these fundamental guidelines:

1. Confidentiality – What is shared in the group stays in the group.

2. Commitment to Attendance – Regular participation fosters group cohesion and personal growth.

3. Honest and Open Communication – Express thoughts and feelings with honesty and respect.

4. Active Participation – Engage in discussions while allowing space for others.

5. No Rescuing or Fixing – Offer support but avoid unsolicited advice.

6. Take Responsibility for Your Feelings – Use “I” statements and own your emotions.

7. Respect Differences – Approach others with curiosity rather than judgment.

8. Stay in the Here-and-Now – Focus on present emotions and interactions.

Common Myths About Group Work

1. "Group work is less effective than individual work."

   • Reality: Research shows group work can be just as, if not more, effective due to the power of interpersonal learning.

2. "Group work is only for extroverts."

   • Reality: All personality types benefit. Structured, supportive interactions allow introverts to engage at their own pace.

3. "You must share deeply right away."

   • Reality: There is no pressure. Members participate as they feel comfortable.

4. "The facilitator controls everything."

   • Reality: The power of the group comes from peer interactions. Members support, challenge, and learn from one another.
