It is often tempting to look at our clients to understand what went wrong. While there are certainly client and situational factors that play a role, it is also critical to understand how the experience is impacting us and, in turn, how we then impact the situation. As peer consultants, we can help each other dive a little deeper, explore our own reactions, risk being vulnerable with one another, and learn how we show up in our consulting and coaching roles. The overall objective of the program is to engage in a process of self-discovery that will enable participants to enhance their effectiveness with clients. During the process of peer consulting, we will also learn skills that we can apply with our clients, as we help them gain greater self-awareness and understanding. Each meeting, one participant will present a “case” where they felt that their consulting and/or coaching went awry. Using a process of curious inquiry and genuine acknowledgment, other participants will help the person explore their thoughts, feelings, and actions/reactions. Our goal is to help the person better understand how they showed up in their consultant role and discover lessons learned and possible strategies to show up more effectively. The role of the peer consultant will be less about giving advice and much more about creating a space for the person to gain insight and arrive at their own understanding and solutions. Learning Objectives • Engage in a process of self-discovery that will enable participants to enhance their effectiveness with clients. • Learn skills that we can apply with our clients, as we help them gain greater self-awareness and understanding.
