Peer Coaching Circles present one of the most effective and accelerated ways to learn through focused discussions with your colleagues on topics of common interest.
Participants share their concrete experiences, challenges, and impressions in order to learn from and support each other.
A key difference between Peer Coaching and Group Mentoring is that, unlike Group Mentoring, Peer Coaching does not require a mentor. Participants can elect a leader or rotate leadership responsibilities.
Key elements of effective Peer Coaching include:
Common development target
Openness to share your own challenges and learnings
Willingness to actively listen to the experiences of your colleagues
Confidentiality
Flexibility to incorporate learnings into your specific situation
