Over the past ten years CoachingOurselves has been working with L&D professionals to design and deploy successful peer learning programs for leadership and management development.
A CoachingOurselves peer learning program is:
- A series of 90-minute sessions driven by CoachingOurselves topics
- With peer groups of 4 to 6 leaders
- Facilitated by one of the participants or by a certified HR or Learning professional.
Using this basic model, CoachingOurselves has deployed hundreds of peer group learning programs.

Over time we have noticed several design patterns emerge. One of the most common is a Classic multi-group program. These programs are typically delivered to large cohorts of first line or middle managers. Decisions such as how groups are formed, selection of peer learning topics for the sessions, and topic sequencing are based on the context of each organization.
The Outcomes
CoachingOurselves provides leaders with the opportunity to take a step back to reflect and dialogue with a small group of their peers on a regular basis around important leadership and organizational themes. The objective is to improve their practice of management in order to increase organizational performance. The peer learning groups use CoachingOurselves topics (discussion guides) to drive the 90 minute sessions. The CoachingOurselves catalog has over 90 topics written by world-renowned authors these provide a wide range of leadership and management themes.
CoachingOurselves creates the space for people to have human conversations, learn and develop connections critical in the workplace.
