Download or read book Virtual Group Coaching written by Pamela Van Dyke and published by Crossgate Publishing House. This book was released on 1960-06-26 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Press Release Abstract / Description Technology has changed the way we conduct business and interact with each other. Whether we are accomplishing tasks, completing projects, or enhancing our personal development, we are no longer confined to face-to-face encounters. Our society is becoming more and more reliant on virtual means to communicate and to conduct business. These changes and advances in technology have impacted the way in which we live our lives and conduct our business. A qualitative study was conducted using a structured interview process with 21 business professionals who participated in a virtual group coaching process. This study describes the experiences of each of these participants in detail from the perspectives of each virtual group coaching participant. The study's participants are representative from across the United States, Canada, and Australia and included 19 different virtual coaching groups that met over a consistent period of time ranging from a minimum of 6 months to a maximum of 4 years. The interviews were analyzed using categorical content analysis to reveal 5 major themes and 23 subthemes. The 5 major themes identified were a) Business Education, b) Group Process, c) Group Facilitation, d) Personal Development and e) Virtual Community. In total, data analysis revealed that the virtual group coaching participants gained knowledge about their businesses and insight into themselves as individuals as well as revealed the importance of the role and skill of the coach as facilitator. Besides being directly applicable to coach practitioners as a viable new coaching methodology, this approach may also help future researchers by creating vocabulary and processes which distinctly describe the virtual group coaching process. With such a new pathway created, new discoveries can be made. Onward!

Download or read book Virtual Coaching to Improve Group Relationships written by William J. Rothwell and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process consultation, invented by Edgar Schein, is both a skill and an organization development change effort. As a skill, process consultation means the ability to observe and provide feedback about small group dynamics to a work group about how well group members interact and how to improve that interaction. Just as facilitators devote their time to (in one word) asking, process consultants devote their time to (in one word) watching—at an expert level. As a change effort, process consultation is a concerted effort to help members of a group work together more effectively. For that reason, the word "process" in this context should be interpreted to mean "interpersonal interaction in small groups." Historically, process consultation has focused attention on face-to-face groups and their group dynamics. But times are changing. More work is done online or in blended (online and onsite) groups than face-to-face alone. A 2017 survey of over 25,000 workers in 12 countries revealed that 62% of global workers are now working flexibly—with some residential work and some virtual work. The same survey found that workers believe that flexible work arrangements make them more productive and that 48% of survey respondents reported that their virtual interactions include representatives of other cultures. It is true that, for workers who can discipline themselves and manage distractions at home, virtual work can be more productive when commuting time is eliminated and workplace distractions are minimized. Virtual work has the advantage of reducing the need for childcare, slashing work wardrobe costs, and cutting unproductive, stressful commuting time. Despite how modes of working together have changed over the years—ranging from face-to-face to some degree of virtual (video conference, audio conference, print-only collaboration, and many blended combinations)—and the growing need for finding ways to help people work together more effectively, there has been no practical guideline of process consultation in a virtual or mixed work setting since Schein’s process consultation initially focused on group dynamics in face-to-face settings. Therefore, this book aims to provide practical approaches to process consultation, helping group members discover more effective ways of working together in blended virtual/residential and cross-cultural settings. Essentially, this book provides a practical, how-to guide for virtual coaching, using step-by-step procedural approaches, cases, and helpful platforms/technologies and tools. It also provides information about how to use technology to support the process of improving virtual or mixed group relationship.
