We are currently offering the following staff trainings. 

Positive Peer Coaching

With the rise of flat organizational structures and lean cultures, the expectation of an ideal corporate leader has changed from being the one who gives answers to the one who asks questions. The whole job of “managing people” is more and more a collaborative task, rather than a secret club of the few.

So how could you cultivate a coaching mindset throughout an organization with an action learning approach? A lean and impactful way to do this is to set up peer to peer coaching sessions. In group coaching, the facilitator doesn’t coach each participant but creates a setting where peers can coach each other and practice coaching together.

By the end of this training, you'll know how to confidently and naturally facilitate strengths-based, solutions-focused, and emotionally intelligent conversations that bring energy, support, and a positive focus to the people around you.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify gaps and blind spots
  2. Build self-awareness
  3. Increase confidence and resilience
