1 Find a peer support group

One of the best ways to provide peer support to other coaches is to join or create a peer support group. A peer support group is a small group of coaches who meet regularly to share their experiences, challenges, successes, and insights. A peer support group can provide you with a safe and confidential space to discuss your coaching practice, receive constructive feedback, learn from others' perspectives, and celebrate your achievements. You can find a peer support group through your coaching network, association, or online platforms, or you can start your own with a few trusted colleagues.

Living the unconventional life. A coach for dream followers, restless creatives, and daring adventurers. I have a special place in my heart for people who do amazing things from behind the scenes.

I meet once a week with two other coaches for an hour on Zoom. Most of our conversations are about everything else but coaching, but the shared listening and support is something I'd have to have a dire excuse to miss. We've been meeting for over six years.

2 Use a supervision model

Another way to provide peer support to other coaches is to use a supervision model. Supervision is a structured and formal process of reviewing and reflecting on your coaching practice with a qualified supervisor or a peer. Supervision can help you enhance your coaching skills, identify your strengths and areas for improvement, address ethical issues, and cope with stress and emotions. You can use a supervision model, such as the Seven-Eyed Model, the CLEAR Model, or the GROW Model, to guide your peer support sessions and ensure that you cover all the relevant aspects of your coaching practice.

3 Share resources and tools

A third way to provide peer support to other coaches is to share resources and tools that can help them improve their coaching practice. Resources and tools can include books, articles, podcasts, videos, courses, webinars, assessments, frameworks, models, techniques, or exercises that you have found useful or inspiring in your own coaching journey. You can share resources and tools with your peer support group, your supervision partner, or your wider coaching network through emails, social media, blogs, or newsletters. Sharing resources and tools can help you expand your knowledge, discover new ideas, and spark conversations with other coaches.

Resources also includes experiences and feedback from execution of tasks. Learning from others' successes and failures helps us grow individually, as well as collectively. Share useful stories with colleagues so they gain more understanding of the coaching process.

4 Offer mentoring or coaching

A fourth way to provide peer support to other coaches is to offer mentoring or coaching to those who are less experienced or need specific guidance. Mentoring or coaching is a one-on-one relationship where you provide advice, support, feedback, and encouragement to another coach who is seeking to develop their skills, confidence, or career. You can offer mentoring or coaching to other coaches through formal programs, informal arrangements, or pro bono services. Offering mentoring or coaching can help you share your expertise, build your reputation, and develop your leadership and communication skills.

5 Seek feedback and recognition

A fifth way to provide peer support to other coaches is to seek feedback and recognition from them. Feedback and recognition are essential for your professional growth and satisfaction as a coach. Feedback can help you learn from your mistakes, improve your performance, and identify your goals. Recognition can help you appreciate your achievements, boost your motivation, and increase your self-esteem. You can seek feedback and recognition from other coaches by asking for their opinions, suggestions, or testimonials, or by applying for awards, certifications, or accreditations.

What I really appreciate is when there is sharing of what happened during a coaching session... not what was talked about of course, but what the coach was aware of about her/himself and what that disclosure brings back in the mind. Both the good and the bad experiences. This kind of sharing can allow more precision in one's understanding. And also, it can be a space of genuine connection in the sense that both may have experienced same type of situation.

6 Practice self-care and compassion

A sixth way to provide peer support to other coaches is to practice self-care and compassion. Self-care and compassion are vital for your mental and physical health and well-being as a coach. Self-care and compassion can help you cope with stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, or vicarious trauma that can result from your coaching work. You can practice self-care and compassion by taking care of your basic needs, setting boundaries, managing your energy, engaging in hobbies, seeking support, and being kind to yourself. You can also practice self-care and compassion by encouraging other coaches to do the same and checking in on them regularly.

One of the often overlooked component of peer support is ... helping other coaches to stop living clients lives in their head. Many a tines, we as coaches tend to taken on the challenges faced by our clients by playing it in our minds often. This happens to a significant number of coaches who are Highly Sensitive People. For eg. Me. I am an HSP. Early on, in my coaching career, I used to live my client's lives in my head. I realized later this was not helping either me or my client. I learnt to develop a detached involvement with my clients. It transformed both of our lives. It is important to help our peers to get there. A key approach to help our peers is to actively listen and being compassionate. Isn't it?

It can be quite tricky to provide peer support to a coach seeking support. I personally do not like the idea of someone taking authority over me and sometimes a coach can slide into this posture, using the tricks of the trade. What seems to work for me is when we get into the mode of thinking together, whilst respecting each other. When both allows the movement of information inside, and yet keep some information for self. And with time, as we get used to it, the information disclosed can open up more. This can be a major learning journey for both, but mainly a deep connection can be established.
