Half way through the program, peers begin meeting on their own to set growth goals, develop their own action steps, and cheer each other on to growth. It’s a highly interactive, experiential process.

Your group leader will need a Facilitator’s Package to offer the course. An Independent Study version is also available that allows two individuals to build a peer coaching relationship on their own.Click Here for more resources from this author.
