Peer 2 Peer coaching will introducing you to coaching skill sets while supporting each other through enhanced 1-1 conversations.  Coaching creates a context for a particular type of conversation, one that often creates a new perspective on a situation while challenging the coachee to take actions to change their situation.  You’ll find coaching skills offer a powerful way to hold conversations with your peers, with researchers, mentees, PhD students, as well as with students.
