“I highly recommend this Peer Coaching program. As a CEO, I found an instant sense of team and collaborative friendship. During the experience, my insights deepended as I learned from the shared challenges of my colleagues, my own leadership strengths and blind spots, and reframing my challenges into a more positive light.”
