How to Go from One-on-One to Group Consulting (and Have More Time for Yourself)

In this episode of The Three Month Vacation Podcast, host Sean challenges the common assumption that one-on-one consulting is superior to group consulting. He argues that traditional classroom models are actually silos, not true groups, and that real group learning thrives when three key elements are present: distributed feedback, collective learning from a pool of mistakes, and synchronized progress. Sean explains how group consulting reduces the burden on the instructor, accelerates learning through peer feedback, and raises the overall standard of the group as individuals gradually improve. He emphasizes that group dynamics become powerful only when participants move at a similar pace and feel safe sharing work. By the halfway point of a course, trust builds and the group transforms into a collective journey. Sean also promotes the upcoming storytelling workshop at Psychotactics, highlighting storytelling as a critical skill in the age of AI. The episode concludes with a call to action to join the workshop, which itself exemplifies the group consulting model it teaches.
