Group Coaching

Group Coaching is a cost effective and powerful way to experience coaching.

In this program, a small number of individuals will participate in one-hour coaching calls twice a month. The power of group coaching is that each participant has an opportunity to be coached by Julie, to hear what their fellow participants are facing and to offer their wisdom and insight. Besides receiving individual support, you will also be creating a small community that shares similar issues, challenges and successes.

There are two group coaching options available:

The Career Next Step Group

The Career Next Step Group supports clients who want something different with their career. If you’re trying to discover the work you love, explore what matters most to you in your work, or make a career/job change, Career Next Step will support you finding and creating what’s next for you.

The Career Boost Group

The Career Boost Group supports clients around issues of role effectiveness: how to be and do better in their current professional situation. If you’re looking to be more effective; enhance your communication or leadership skills; navigate the challenges of a political or dysfunctional organization; or deal with the unique professional challenges you’re facing in your current role, Career Boost is the group for you.

Here’s what a participant had to say about the group:

“The Career Next Step Group with Julie Cohen helped me to realize that I have all the tools and imagination I need to make desired changes in my career. The group helped me acknowledge and, subsequently, shed much of the fear I have always carried around about making changes in my career. As a result of working with the Julie and the other participants, I feel more empowered and inspired to take control of my career and shape it into something that is truly of my own making. Julie’s  group helped me put elements of change into  motion, and I am very excited about my future.”

Now enrolling for both groups. Dates/Times we be determined by participants’ schedule preferences.

How Does This Work?

For a three-month period, you’ll call a ‘bridge line’ where participants ‘meet.’ Previous to the first group coaching call, you’ll complete introductory exercises to clarify your focus and goals for the coaching. You’ll also have a ½ hour individual coaching session with Julie before the group starts to lay your foundation for group coaching.

You’ll call in two scheduled times each month to coach with Julie and the other group participants. Like individual coaching, you’ll complete fieldwork between sessions, and you’ll submit a ‘prep form’ before each session so you take actions and achieve the goals you want to accomplish.

After the three-month period (6 group calls), this group ends. For the duration of the three months, Julie is also available for unlimited email support for any fieldwork, issues or challenges.

How much does this cost?

The entire investment for either 3 month Coaching Group is $597. This includes:

Introductory exercises to lay foundation of coaching focus
½ hour individual coaching session with Julie
Six (6) one hour group coaching sessions – 2 times per month, for three months
Unlimited email support from Julie during this time
Feedback on your resume, cover letter and other career-related documents
Wisdom and connection with other people who have similar situations, challenges and dreams.

What else do I need to know?

Together, we’ll determine a convenient time for the calls. They will occur the same day and time, twice a month for three months
Payment can be made by personal check or credit card

Here’s what another participant had to say about the group:

“Career Next Step Group was tremendously helpful to me to because it gave me the opportunity to present my current situation and future plans and then receive immediate feedback from Julie and the participants. This approach saved time, and it gave me valuable input from the other participants along with individual coaching feedback. Julie Cohen is the consummate professional, her approach is pragmatic, she is  very respectful of individuals’ time constraints and she is willing  to tailor the sessions to meet the needs of the participants. I  highly recommend the Career Next Step Group if you are seeking  to grow your career in another direction.”

Now enrolling for both groups.

From Our Clients
"I wasn't very familiar with coaching before I started the process with Julie so I wasn't sure what to expect. Any expectations I had were far surpassed however. As a PhD student writing my thesis far from my home campus, I needed help to develop a realistic workplan and to overcome my feelings of isolation. The support and guidance that I received from Julie was pivotal in helping me to construct a productive at-home work environment. In addition to helping me realize my work objectives, coaching helped me to examine and articulate my core values in life. A heightened awareness of my values was particularly useful when I decided to delay going on the academic job market for one year due to the arrival of our first child. In this way, coaching helped me to break down my workload into doable pieces and to establish a realistic timeline for the project. Coaching helped me to define and realize my goals, connecting my macro-objectives and values to my everyday micro-level tasks."

"My work with Julie allows me to push myself past any pre-set boundaries or limitations. I now believe it is possible to attain any goal I set for myself: one-step-at-a-time... Julie has a razor sharp mind, is very professional yet supportive in a non-judgmental way. She expects a lot from her clients, and delivers a lot - She is conscientious, reliable, and resourceful. She is quick to assess a given situation and help you find a desirable outcome. Anyone who is ambitious and has dreams and goals they want to achieve simply can. Working with a career coach has taught me skills I use in all facets of life: from writing a publication manuscript to planning my wedding in an organized and efficient manner. My dreams are becoming actualized and are no longer vague amorphous thoughts and desires. My life is much fuller and productive now that I know how to be pro-active."

Medical Doctor, San Francisco, California, USA
"Working with Julie has really helped me to move ahead with my professional life, and in particular, my professional self-image, which is such an important part of career success. I now feel more confident in my own professional abilities, and this translates into better quality work as well as a better overall feeling about my career. Coaching has also allowed me to view my life as an integral whole, rather than the sum of different parts. Seeing my life as a whole has enabled me to become a more balanced person and to weather life's storms more successfully. Julie is a very supportive and attentive person. She is very accessible to her clients and encourages me to contact her throughout the week to share news and ideas with her. "
