Peer-to-Peer Learning
Summary
Peer-to-peer learning provides personal and professional support between colleagues. It relies on two or more people providing each other with advice, recommendations, and emotional support. It is usually quite informal but can be set up as a structured event, like the Peer Coaching Circles. This is something that you and other learners in your organization can do regularly.
