Peer Coaching Program
Click here for the Peer Coaching Brochure & application.
Remember the last time you had to make a tough decision and you felt like there was no one you could bounce your thoughts off of? Well, if you had been in a peer coaching group you would have 6-8 of your peers to bring your question to.
Executive Alliance’s Peer Coaching Program is designed especially for CEO/Executive Directors, Chief Financial Officers and Development Directors.
Peer Coaching circles are highly focused groups of peers who meet regularly to assist each other with problem solving and expanding perspectives / alternatives. These facilitated groups are composed of six to eight members who are able to commit to active participation, meeting once a month over eight months.
Confidentiality is a strong expectation. Meetings will be 3 hours with logistics managed by Executive Alliance. We will be forming Circles in late August to begin meeting in October. An orientation meeting will be held in early September. In order for the model to be successful, members are expected to attend regularly.
How they work?
- Each group member brings their own issues to the group and gets an equal time slot each session
- Members choose their own issues to explore and resolve, then take a complete look at the situation, explore alternatives, set realistic goals, take actions
- Coaching involves a variety of approaches and skills, including attentive listening, probing questions, brainstorming, supportive challenges, occasionally sharing materials and personal experiences

Why face your organization’s challenges alone, when you can get the support and encouragement from your peers.
