Workbook Peer-to-Peer Coaching

Peer-to-peer coaching is an effective and easy-to-organise way of learning. It can be used as part of a personal professional development programme or an organisational development trajectory, or as a stand-alone activity. We frequently apply it in our advisory and coaching practice. Not only is it effective, people also genuinely enjoy supporting one another with challenging issues. In this way, peer-to-peer coaching also strengthens connections between colleagues.

As facilitators, we are always temporarily connected to a peer-to-peer coaching group. Very often, these groups continue independently afterwards. With this workbook, we aim to provide a practical guide for doing so.

You will find here:

• an overview of key principles and success factors for peer-to-peer coaching. What is it and how does it work?
• a number of peer-to-peer coaching methods that we frequently use ourselves, with concise explanations. Some groups prefer to use the same method each time, while others enjoy varying the format. Most methods are widely applicable. Where there are specific considerations, these are mentioned in the explanation.
• reflection tools to help you prepare thoroughly, whether as facilitator or participant, so that you gain the most from peer-to-peer coaching.
• several observations and experiences from the practice of our facilitators.
