ABOUT THIS FIELDTRIP

If you’ve ever been in a situation where a coworker, friend, or family member has come to you for help with a problem, heard your brilliant advice, and then ignored it completely, it might be time to try a coaching mindset. Whether you’re a manager, mentor, or the “"parent”“ of your friend group, using coaching tools for these conversations can help—and anyone can gain these skills by practicing peer coaching.

In this workshop, you’ll learn communication techniques to make your coaching conversations effective and the easy framework we use in Commcoterie’s peer coaching community to guide our coaching conversations. Through asking the right questions, practicing active listening, getting comfortable with silence, and empowering others to take action rather than directing them, anyone can use coaching tools and positive communication techniques to help your peers get unstuck and reach their goals.
