The Peer Coaching Workbook provides everything participants need for peer coach training (the facilitator needs a Peer Coaching Facilitator’s Package). Each participant needs their own workbook (because the peer partnerships are same-gender, couples will not be able to share the same copy). The Workbook includes:

10 articles covering each coaching topic
Handouts and debriefing questions for each video session
Peer exercises for each of the 8 group sessions
Session outlines and covenants for launching your peer relationship
Weekly action steps and accountability exercises
Sample coaching dialogues
A section of extra coaching resources

Training Sessions

Peer Coach Training includes an orientation plus 8 weekly sessions (it can also be run in other formats – see the Facilitator’s Guide). Sessions are as follows:

Orientation: Getting Started
Session 1: Growing Toward Your Destiny
Session 2: The Coaching Approach
Session 3: Building Authentic Relationships
Session 4: The Covenant Life
Session 5: Aiming for the Mark—Change Goals
Session 6: Taking Action
Session 7: Coaching Your Peer
Session 8: Energy for Change

While peer coach training is usually done in groups (the Peer Coaching Facilitator’s Package has everything you need to offer the course to your team) it is also available in a special Peer Coaching Independent Study including two workbooks and the Peer Coaching DVD Set that lets two people go through the course on their own. This is a great way to check out the materials, to get new people on board that missed the training, or to build your own peer relationship if group training is not available.

What People Are Saying About Peer Coach Training

“This is really a dynamite program. Without a doubt, this is going to be the point of entry for coaching to really penetrate the church, because it trains people in coaching skills at the grass roots level.”
“The greatest revelation to me was that accountability was rooted in what I want to do, not what the other person wanted me to do… That whole idea of ownership was very powerful.”
“I got nothing but positive feedback: comments like, ‘This is the thing I’ve been looking for,’ or, ‘This has changed how I deal with people,’ or, ‘I’m a listener now where I didn’t know how to really listen before.’ They got more out of the first night of this than the whole month of [the last program we did].” Small Group Leader
“The material is dynamite. There’s no question about that – the material is unique and this is a home run.” Ministry Team Leader

“The people who went through this were… a handpicked group of the pastor’s core people. This course demonstrated that even though they knew each other and were working closely together, they weren’t holding each other accountable for anything specific…” Coach
