Course Overview | The quality of our professional relationships impacts our wellbeing and effectiveness every day. What if you and all of your colleagues interacted with each other in ways that build wellbeing, energy, engagement, and teamwork through your daily conversations? In this course, we'll introduce a strengths-based, solutions-focused peer coaching methodology that does exactly that. This approach equips teaching and non-teaching staff members with evidence-based positive psychology coaching skills you can use to support each other in formal/informal conversations and meetings. Positive Peer Coaching is a collaborative and empowering approach that fosters growth and development within a professional environment. It involves colleagues supporting and encouraging each other through structured conversations, utilizing evidence-based coaching techniques rooted in positive psychology. By leveraging the strengths and expertise of peers, positive peer coaching enhances individual and collective wellbeing, engagement, and teamwork, leading to increased effectiveness and overall success. |
