Learning and Talent Development is inviting interested UW‒Madison employees to attend an introductory session on coaching circles. Coaching circles bring together 5‒6 people from different areas across campus to meet virtually once a month and share current challenges. Coaching circles are intended to provide connection and support, not advice. In the introductory session, participants will learn about the logistics, roles, and steps involved in participating in a coaching circle. An opportunity to experience a coaching circle will be provided. No coaching experience or special knowledge is required. Several introductory sessions are scheduled for summer and fall.
