“Learning and Performance through Peer Coaching” with Phil LeNir
It’s well understood in the field of learning and development that 70% of learning is informal, on the job, and experience based; 20% is coaching and mentoring; and 10% is comprised of formal learning interventions and structured courses. But what does this mean in practice?
This session will showcase a peer coaching leadership development methodology that builds community, stimulates exchange of perspectives, and encourages team cohesion. It is an innovative adaptation of the 70/20/10 approach to leadership development and organizational transformation. The use of this peer coaching methodology uses practical tools to explore a wide range of topics. These tools were created by more than forty leading management thinkers including Henry Mintzberg, Marshall Goldsmith, David Cooperrider, and Michael Beers.
Objectives
Participants will:
• Learn about the application of social and informal learning (70/20/10) for management and organizational development, and gain insight into leveraging the framework in your organization.
• Learn about the impact of using the methodology developed by CoachingOurselves through hands on review of select case studies.
• Understand the lessons learned when developing and deploying peer coaching solutions.
Phil LeNir, President and co-founder, with Henry Mintzberg, will share the CoachingOurselves methodology that builds leadership depth, community, stimulates exchange of perspectives, and encourages team cohesion.
Participant Engagement
The session is spit into a presentation segment followed by a demonstration segment during which participants work in small groups. They use a peer-coaching module on Strategic Blindspots written by a professor and former McKinsey Consulting. This 30+ minute “demo” gives participants an opportunity to practice peer-coaching one another, and experience the Mintzberg approach to reflective learning and peer-coaching for themselves.
