Leadership Peer Coaching Groups

 

About the Program

Leadership Peer Coaching Groups provide mutual peer support to group members through building a small leadership community that fosters positive change for themselves and their institutions. The program helps participants solve challenging leadership issues, learn to offer and receive genuine feedback, and enhance their own effectiveness as leaders.

The curriculum for Leadership Peer Coaching Groups is built on three components:

1. A  coaching  methodology and approach that emphasize curiosity and active listening to understand the coachee’s situation and goals and guided conversation that helps coachees identify options and steps for moving forward.
2. The development and strengthening of EQ skills such as self-awareness, empathy, boundary awareness and courage that are part of the toolkit for coaches to be trusted partners.
3. The creation of a coaching mindset and skills to enable the development of ongoing collaboration and empowerment among teams, academic units, direct reports, and peers. Through this paradigm shift in leadership approach, Coach-Leaders can help their units/teams arrive at collaborative solutions in which all parties have had a voice. It also opens the door to fresh perspectives.

Participants credit Leadership Peer Coaching Groups with providing a psychologically safe space to think strategically and develop clarity around challenging issues; decreasing the sense of isolation faculty members can feel in a large research university; enhancing their development as leaders; and enabling a spirit of collaboration that advances both professional growth and institutional goals.
