Infact in a trusted environment, colleagues probably see more that what you were aware of. This can be very helpful, even if it takes time to do so. There is not just one best method for peer-to-peer coaching, however there can be identify some steps to be followed to develop an effective peer consultation. 1) Formulating the question: the narrator explains just enough so that the participants understand what the question is about; 2) Gathering information: The participants ask questions until they know enough to start the analysis; 3) Analysis: select and use network tool(s) to understand what might be happening; 4) Reformulating the question: the narrator rephrases the question to have suggestions; 5) Advice: The participants tell what they would do if they were in the position of the narrator, without a discussion about it; 6) Conclusions: The narrator tells what advices are most useful to him/her, and why. The final stage is a Wrapping up during which each participant shares with the others main learnings from this consultation. If applicable, a new appointment is set.
