Peer-to-peer coaching (‘intervisie’) is an effective and easy-to-organise way of learning. Either as part of a personal professional development programme, 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. We wanted to provide a practical guide for them.
Two years ago we made a ‘free-to-download’ resource in Dutch. As it is so well-used, we have now made it available in English, too!
This workbook includes:
- 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 step-by-step explanations. Some groups prefer to use the same method each time, while others enjoy varying the format.
- reflection questions 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.
