The Collective Shift Group Coaching Methodology is a comprehensive program designed to support coaching professionals in mastering group coaching dynamics and building a scalable group coaching practice. The program addresses both ICF and EMCC Core Competencies, incorporates their respective Codes of Ethics, and focuses on advanced development areas by integrating theory, experiential learning, direct coaching practice, mentoring, supervision, and business development components.

The structure of the program includes:

- 8 modules delivered over 8 months, each consisting of two full days (7 hours per day) of live online sessions

- A final assessment module (Module 8) including individual evaluation and integration mentoring

- 6 post-program group supervision sessions (2 hours each), led by an EMCC-accredited Coach Supervisor

Participants engage in:

- Practice-based learning through leading real-time group coaching sessions

- Feedback and mentoring aligned with ICF and EMCC Core Competencies

- Integration of projective tools and systemic coaching interventions

- Development of their own business model for delivering and monetizing group coaching interventions/ programs.

The methodology is built around a transformational group learning journey, structured in five key stages:

1. Entry and Contracting

2. Coaching Space and Tools

3. Group Dynamics and Conflict

4. Reflection, Expansion, and Transformation

5. Closure, Leadership, and Integration

Each participant is supported in developing their unique voice and presence as a group coach, while cultivating ethical, competent, and confident practice that aligns with ICF professional standards.
