The Forum is a method used in a group setting e.g. for Team Coaching. The group or team usually has a common goal (e.g. to start a project together). This method makes feelings and thoughts of each participant visible. It creates a safe space that allows vulnerability and trust and supports connection between the participants if there is no judgement but rather benevolance towards everyone. For making this happen some rules needs to be established beforehand (e.g. no gossiping or sharing externally). Furthermore it’s process oriented, based on the present (”what is happening now?”) and it’s voluntarily. There are different ways to execute it, e.g. you can sit on chairs in a circle and the one person that wants to start, goes into the middle of the circle and just starts talking based on the question “How are you?”. We usually time-box the sharing in our coaching sessions depending on the group size.
