Supporting you in introducing Coaching Pairs
December, 2024
An initial Workshop to set up Coaching Pairs
Our advice is that if you are to make a success of Coaching Pairs, you need an in-person workshop first, for those members of your extended leadership team who you would like to take part in the first round of Coaching Pairs:
-
Exploring the six key elements of working together in Coaching Pairs
-
Inviting members of the team to form a Coaching Pair with a colleague
-
Building in the first session of Coaching Pairs for 30 to 40 minutes as a natural part of the workshop agenda
-
Facilitating feedback from pairs, so that by the end of the Workshop you all regard Coaching Pairs as a core part of your commitment as a team to helping each other grow as leaders.
One of the most important aspects of the workshop you will need to think through beforehand is how best to arrange for people to split into Coaching Pairs, in a way that means everyone naturally gravitates towards colleagues from other functions with whom they have little to do on a day-to-day basis.
Very happy to have an initial chat on Teams
If you're thinking of introducing Coaching Pairs, and would like just like a chat for a few minutes to bounce some ideas around, then Pete Ashby would be very happy to chat to you on Teams or Zoom for 15 to 30 minutes.
If you want to facilitate the workshop yourself, and would like some background coaching support in preparing for it, Pete would be more than happy to give you that support, and would just need to agree with you a modest fee.
Alternatively, Pete always loves facilitate workshops himself, and if you want him to act as your facilitator he would be very happy to discuss that option with you.
If you haven't worked with Pete before, you can find a selection of some of his latest leadership videos as well as testimonials from other leaders on Pete Ashby Coaching.
