If you've got great people skills and you'd like to make a difference to coaching in your community, check out how to coordinate a community of practice (COP); that is, a group of coaches, who:
- are actively coaching and engage with each other on more than one occasion
- share a common passion, concern or challenge in their coaching
- want a meaningful learning experience that improves their coaching practice
- share good practice and experiences, with, and for the benefit of others
- are willing to ask questions and provide communal support
- and are committed to trying and sharing new ideas in their coaching.
During Coaching Week, a further two blogs on communities of practice will be published; divulging top tips on how to start one and guidance to see if they are making a difference. Check them out in the Related Content section below.
