Â
Tuesday, October 28, 2025 | 11:45 AM- 12:30 PM EST
As group coaches, we often invite vulnerability, authenticity, and reflectionâbut what happens when our participants show up guarded, filtered, or stuck in protective patterns that block growth?
In this interactive workshop, we'll explore the Unarmored Leadership⢠Coaching Model and how it can be used to deepen the group coaching experience. You'll learn how to recognize the four archetypes of Unarmored Leadership, help clients identify the beliefs and behaviors that limit their presence and impact, and guide them toward more authentic leadership. Through real-world tools, reflective practices, and effective facilitation strategies, you'll walk away with a powerful perspective for addressing the internal stories and external patterns that often go unspoken in group coaching sessions.
Whether you are coaching executives, entrepreneurs, or emerging leaders, this session will help you create impactful group environments that foster deep connections and promote transformation.
