The Roundtable for Leaders Peer Program
No longer the domain of CEO’s and corporate presidents, the Roundtable for Leaders peer mentoring program gives mid-level leaders access to powerful peer mentoring and executive coaching that delivers immediate results. Consider it your own personal board of directors filled with individuals who know you, understand your motivations and passionately believe in your success.
Led by former C-level executives, you’ll learn and share practical tools and strategies, get crucial feedback and insights, extend your network of high-impact peers and have the opportunity to discuss crucial issues in a confidential and safe environment.
To participate, you must be an experienced leader with at least four years leadership experience. You must be interested in sharing your leadership lessons with others, and be open to learning from others.

“The year-long approach provided small increments of learning that I could put into action immediately. I applied more of the concepts, and I really felt like I moved my leadership forward.” – Merjane Schoueri, Director, Nonfiction & Young Adult, Harlequin
Outcomes
Stay ahead of the curve – Through book reviews, timely articles and guest speakers, you’ll explore the latest in leadership and management thinking, and then embed the learning through debate and discussion of the ideas.
Deal with immediate issues – The peer coaching process generates options, ideas and suggestions that you can apply immediately. An ongoing goal tracker helps each member of the Roundtable commit to action and provides an ongoing log of the progress made to date.
Learn how to reflect – By presenting issues and being given the space to discuss what worked and what didn’t, you’ll learn the value of reflecting – conducting “an autopsy without blood”.
Learn about other organizations – Broaden your understanding of different models and organizational cultures through sharing with peers.
Make better decisions – Share knowledge about what really works and avoid unnecessary pitfalls.
Improve coaching capabilities – 50% of every session is spent in peer coaching, allowing you to hone your skills of observation, inquiry, dialogue and questioning.
Improve feedback skills (giving and receiving) – By presenting issues and helping others process theirs, you’ll hone their feedback skills and learn how to manage your own responses.
Meet other like-minded professionals (expand networks) – Beyond surface networking, through the climate of trust and candor created by Roundtable members, you’ll gain new contacts and relationships that will last a lifetime.
Challenge perspectives – Through the peer coaching process, you will continually be challenged to look at situations through different lenses, apply different ways of problem solving and think more clearly about their options.
