Individual and Peer Coaching
Many companies are discovering that coaching is not just for executives; it can help accelerate anyone’s ability to acquire and retain the mindset and skills for maximum success at work.
In one-to-one sessions or peer-coaching in groups of 4-8 members, coaching for High Potentials and new supervisors is often a powerful way to augment your Succession Planning and New Supervisor Orientation processes. Frequently Asked Questions about Individual and Peer Coaching Q: What is the coaching process?
A: Whether coaching one-to-one or in a cohort-forum, the coaching process includes 1) goal identification, 2) coaching-generated practices and actions, 3) ensuring sustainability, and 4) closure/what’s ahead. Whether we meet individually or in a group, each client works on a specific goal tailored to their interests and needs. Q: How long does it go?
A: We strongly recommend you sign up for coaching in 6-month increments. Coaching by nature can be challenging, and by committing to a minimum of 6-months, you help ensure you’ll receive full value. Q: How often will we coach?
A: For individual coaching, you’ll typically have 2-3 sessions per month for 60-90 minutes each. For peer coaching, we’ll meet by conference call once per month for 2-4 hours. In either case, we’ll find the rhythm that matches how quickly you want to move. Q: Will we meet in person or over the phone?
A: After our initial face-to-face meeting, our coaching is usually over the phone. We tailor the arrangements to suit your needs. Q: What if I’m not clear about my goals?
A: That will be the subject of your first 1-3 sessions: getting your goals (even more) clear, specific and measurable. Q: How does Peer Coaching work?
A: Peer coaching works well whenever you have a group of people who are willing to become learning partners with each other—often on a topic you share in common. You’ll establish your individual coaching goals, and each month will receive support from your coach and peers on issues pertaining to your goals.
