Open Space Technology: The Right People in the Room Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is group coaching?

In our group coaching program you will work in a small group setting to learn, practice, share, and ask questions. Group coaching allows all of the participants to have a shared experience of learning and growth beyond basic one-to-one coaching.

Is there instruction in a group coaching program?

In our group coaching program sessions, approximately half will be instruction and practice in the form of masterclasses and the remainder will be group coaching where you can seek help to practice the techniques we have been learning or other issues you encounter in your organization.

What formats are offered for your programs?

All of our programs unless otherwise indicated are available as virtual group coaching (usually 12 weeks), one-week corporate offsites in Spain, or four-day, intensive corporate offsites near your office location.

What do I need to do to prepare for the program?

Mindset:

Ability to be clear of distractions with a calm quiet place to participate.
Willingness and time to put in the work outside the weekly group sessions.
Interest in setting aside pre-conceived ideas and opening mind to new techniques.

Technology:

Camera, microphone, computer, appropriate internet bandwidth.
Mobile phone with data plan for activity check-in when away from computer.
Basic understanding of online tools or willingness to take extra time to learn.

How is the material presented?

All content used in the program is posted on the learning dashboard and as appropriate available for download. All virtual group coaching sessions are recorded and posted to the dashboard after the session as well. In addition, we have an online support community to share and ask questions.

What is Agility for All doing to create more sustainable programs?

For our virtual programs, all materials are presented and shared digitally. For in-person programs, we allow each participant to make their choice for their learning style, but encourage using digital media.
For offsites, we use local vendors, restaurants that support 0-3km use of food, do not provide or support the use of single-use plastics, and are low-tech during the event.
Whenever possible, we encourage local transportation options as opposed to flying and have even started our offsites on trains to the venue so that participants get to know each other.

What accommodations are made for participants if needed?

Agility for All tries to create an inclusive environment for all of our programs. However, we have to know that there is an accommodation needed in advance to work on a solution. Our online sessions are held on Google Meet with captioning available. We add pictures/photos to our content for visual appeal but when possible do not make them essential to learning. Where they are a necessary element, we do our best to provide accurate descriptions. For our in-person corporate offsites we make every possible attempt to provide accessible spaces. In Spain this is sometimes difficult with older venues, but we will adjust where possible or propose alternate solutions with appropriate advance notice. We also try to use a variety of techniques in our programs to reach different learning styles

What if I want 1-to1 coaching?

We offer a limited number of 1-to-1 VIP coaching sessions each quarter for which members must pre-qualify based on their goals and where they are on their journeys. The VIP coaching packages are for 12 hours over 4 months.

Is there a bundle discount if I want to enroll in more than one program?

Yes. Please contact us at info@agilityforall.com for more information to put together a group of programs that help you to reach your learning goals.
