Brief Description |
| Peer Coaching |
Examining the nature of peer coaching as a developmental tool that accelerates career learning and facilitates leadership development. Peer coaching is distinguished from mentoring while providing many of the psycho-social benefits. |
| Intersection of career and leadership development |
