How do I offer group coaching?

Group coaching lets you coach several people together for one fixed price. You set how many seats there are, people pay to join, and you schedule the group’s sessions. Not sure if it’s right for you? Read Why should I offer group coaching?

How group coaching works in LCH Core

• You create a Cohort (Fixed Fee) group. Clients pay once to join.
• You set a Max members number. When the group is full, it shows Sold Out.
• People join by buying a seat from your Public Store, your Client Store or a direct link.
• Once people have joined, you schedule the group’s sessions, one at a time or as a repeating series.
• Members get an email invite, plus reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before each session.

Step 1: Create your group coaching offer

1. In the left menu, click Offers, then Group Coaching.
2. On the Cohort (Fixed Fee) card, click Create cohort group coaching.
3. Fill in the Details step:
   • Group coaching name, like “Spring Confidence Circle”
   • Short description
   • When we meet: a plain note shown on your listing, like “Wednesdays 12:00 pm PT”
   • Max members: your seat limit
4. Under Session defaults, choose the Duration, Location and any buffer time. These fill in each time you schedule a session for this group.
5. Enter your Group coaching price and add an image if you like.
6. Under Publication settings, choose Published and where it appears.
7. Click Save & continue.

Step 2: Check your sales page and checkout (optional)

After you save, you land on the Sales page step. We build this page for you from your group details. You can leave it as is or make it your own (see How do I build a sales page that sells my coaching offer?). The Checkout step uses your standard checkout unless you customize it.

[HEADING] Step 3: Share it so people can join

• With Show in Public Store ticked, your group shows in your store under Group Sessions.
• With Show in Client Store ticked, your existing clients find it in their Coaching Store.
• To share a link, go to Offers › Group Coaching, click the … menu next to your group and choose Copy URL. (Where to put your links)

When someone buys a seat, they’re added to the group and to your Contacts. You’ll see them in the Members column. A coupon code works here too.

Step 4: Schedule your group sessions

1. In the left menu, click Calendar & Booking, then Sessions.
2. Click CREATE SESSION.
3. Next to Session audience, click Group.
4. Under Group coaching offer, pick your group.
5. Pick the date and time.
6. Under Session frequency, choose Once only, or choose Repeatedly and pick how often and Until when.
7. Check the location. If you picked Zoom and your Zoom account is connected, the meeting link is created for you.
8. Click Create Session.

Managing your group sessions

On Calendar & Booking › Sessions, click the … menu on a group session to Reschedule it, View members, or Open stream to see the group’s activity.

Coaching your group between sessions

You can add action items, worksheets, goals, journals and resources to a group session, just like a one-to-one session. Each member gets their own copy. (See What coaching forms and tools are available?)

When members write an entry, they choose who can see it: Just Me, My Coach, or My coach & group members. Sharing with the group makes for great peer support.

To keep up with everyone, open your Progress Stream and filter by Group.

Managing your group offer

Go to Offers › Group Coaching. Each group shows its Price, Members (for example 4 / 10) and Status. The … menu lets you Preview, Edit details, Edit sales page, Edit checkout, Clone the group to start a new round, Copy URL, Archive or Delete.

You can raise Max members at any time.
