Thursday, August 24, 2023
2:30pm – 3:15pm (New York)
Location: Caribbean 4-5
Core Competency: 0.5
Resource Development: 0.25
This session will introduce you to peer coaching, as well as a unique peer coaching process and research-based outcomes. You will learn about the core concepts of coaching, leadership development, leadership identity, leadership bids, and systems thinking. You will gain a model of cyclical peer coaching that can be used to scale learning and development, leading to transformational change on an individual, group, and organizational level.

During the interactive peer coaching triad activity, you will have the opportunity to discuss a leadership challenge of your choice and try on the roles of coach, client, and observer. You will work through a defined process of reflection and action as you move through the peer coaching triad.

The session will also provide a brief introduction of leadership identity and leadership bids as well as systems dynamics to connect the leadership development-coaching piece to participants' professional and personal contexts and work cultures.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Define peer coaching, differentiate it from other coaching methods, and understand when to best use peer coaching.
  2. Apply the peer coaching process to various leadership development/coaching contexts.
  3. Upon completion, participants will be able to define and apply the concepts of leadership identity and leadership bids to their coaching practice.
