Coaching Defined:
Peer coaching is a collaborative partnership between a coach and coachee. The coach serves as an unbiased guide, honoring the coachee as an expert in their own life. Coachees gain an elevated perspective and deeper understanding of where they are, how they got there, why they may feel stuck or unfulfilled, and where they want to go. Over time, values are clarified, goals are set and action can lead to meaningful change.
“I just completed my coaching of a colleague. It was an amazing experience! I was so happy to have helped them navigate a difficulty in their work life to a successful conclusion. I felt like I really made a difference. I grew and learned a lot about myself too.”
