Peer coaching. How does it work?
Basically you design a set of key questions that you would like a trusted friend or mentor to ask you once per week. These should be questions with simple answers, just yes or no or numerical answers. Your friend is not to provide any feedback or judgment, just ask questions. Your friend will probably also develop a list of questions for you to answer.
Examples of questions include:
How many miles did you walk this week?
Did you say something nice to your wife today?
Did you talk with each one of your direct employees this week?
You craft the questions based on goals you have set for yourself. Your peer justs asks the questions to keep the goals before you. The process forces change on your part because of the need to save face with your peer.
By asking these questions every day you may find that you start holding yourself to a new standard of behavior. Will this work? What do you think?
Yes: to the extent that "what gets measured gets done".
