Peer Coaching Sessions
Get inspired, grow together and faster
Peer Coaching Sessions are a highly effective reflection tool in which you meet in small, safe groups with peers or colleagues to learn from each other’s work experiences, questions and challenges. You reflect on real cases, share insights and collaboratively seek solutions. It is a structured method aligned with peer coaching, focusing on reciprocity, trust and professional growth. The goal of the Peer Coaching Sessions methodology is learning through knowledge sharing, insight and collaboration.
Everyone acts as both a questioner and a contributor, using the collective intelligence of the group to grow further in their role. Peer Coaching Sessions are based on equality and help build a strong network among peers while elevating each other to a higher level.

Intended for leaders who want to grow in their role and handle resistance, doubt or difficult conversations more effectively. Through Peer Coaching Sessions, they gain insight into their own blind spots, learn from similar cases and strengthen their leadership. Creating more calm, confidence and impact in their role.
What can you expect?
You learn how to facilitate Peer Coaching Sessions within your group using proven models such as the SHIFT! method, the Balint method or the 5W1H method. You discover how to bring structure to reflection conversations, maintain safety in the group and listen systemically. We combine theory with practice in small groups where knowledge sharing and collective intelligence are central. You learn to actively listen, summarize, mirror and ask powerful questions. If the foundation is missing, we start with a short session to build the necessary competencies.
