PEER COACHING - My Peer Connections
Peer coaching can be a simple and effective way to become unstuck and/or provide new momentum. The value is in being able to share with others (in a safe environment) the challenges that you face or the issues and dilemmas that concern you. My Peer Connections allows you to express yourself to others (present in a non-judgmental capacity) who are there to offer support, insights and ideas. All of this can help you to become inspired to make a shift and bring about the change you are seeking!
Via a structured approach and using relevant tools and methodologies, your group will be guided by a C2E facilitator. The process provides every group member with the opportunity to tap into the experience, ideas and solutions of all the others. The value comes from learning with and from each other about how issues can be resolved and how to deal with complexity. The win – win comes from making connections to the various options/ideas that are generated that you may not have considered. By sharing your personal challenge(s) in a peer group you will benefit by:
- Getting insights as to how to achieve desired results or deal with conflicts
- Gaining awareness as to how you show up and what your impact is on others
- Recognizing and validating your personal style and coping strategies
- Learning to actively ask for feedback and how to effectively give feedback to others
- Developing specific interpersonal competencies
- Actively exploring other perspectives beyond your own
- Becoming inspired by your newly gained connections!

Joining a My Peer Connections programme in C2E means the following:
- Participants will mainly work in smaller groups of 4-6 people, all of whom are either at a similar career stage, or level and who come from different organisations.
- In your working group you may find people from similar functions or disciplines, from diverse organizations or the commonality might be you are all team leaders. C2E ensures that you are not in a group with someone who is from the same company or an organisation in direct competition to your own.
- You sign up for 4 sessions which take place at agreed intervals – usually every 3 – 4 weeks. The first and last sessions are 7 hours including lunch and breaks, the other 2 sessions are 4 hours each.
- You agree to the “code of conduct” around confidentiality; our aim is to create an environment of trust (this will be discussed fully in the first session)
Pre-work:
Before you join My Peer Connections you will be asked to complete:
- A registration form
- A short survey which includes sharing a simple outline of 2-3 focus topics you would like to bring to the sessions
- A personal profile

Find out when and how…
The My Peer Connections programme enables you to participate in a number of coaching cycles together with your peer group. Each cycle evolves through 3 phases:
- Connect with your peers to share valuable experiences, ideas and insights
- Explore to learn how you can develop yourself and find solutions as well as learn some techniques you can use for yourself and others, optionally supported by models, tools and exercises that your C2E facilitator will introduce
- Prepare to apply your new insights and skills back in your professional landscape
Your My Peer Connections programme will consist of 4 sessions as outlined. In between each session we will expect you to apply your learning from each session and share reflections with others in your group. The total programme spans a period of 9-12 weeks, taking into account holiday periods.
