Personal and professional coaching has fast become one of the most popular forms of development in today ’ s society . Growing your skills are critical for successful leadership and supervision . We are proud to be bringing peer coaching circles to our members and believe this is an outstanding way to develop yourself and / or your employees .

To learn more about what is entailed with peer coaching circles we would like to invite you to an information meeting on Friday , August 4 at noon , in the ValuNet FIBER Smart room , here at the Trusler Business Center , 719 Commercial .
What is a peer coaching circle and who can benefit ? A peer coaching circle is a group of at least four individuals and a trained facilitator who are committed to attending six sessions held on an average of every three weeks . The dates below are suggested , and can be adapted to each group of participants .
Each participant is coached and each participant will coach others in their group . Everyone is committed to helping everyone in their group reach their goal . This can be a powerful experience and will be facilitated by a trained professional to ensure the meetings are highly focused . Who can benefit from peer coaching ? Really anyone ! Do you have employees new to a supervisory position ? Are you working on organizational change ? Are you a young professional working at growing your profession ? Do you want to expand your leadership development skills ? These are just a few examples of who can benefit from attending these sessions .
