'Pass it on' – peer-to-peer mentoring

‘Pass it on’ is CIPD Northamptonshire’s approach to peer-to-peer mentoring, drawing on the collective knowledge and experience of people professionals across our branch area; our motto is ‘knowledge is contagious…pass it on!’

We meet every three months, have coffee and cake, and share our experiences of hot topics in the world of work in a relaxed and informal environment. For those wanting to enter into a more formal mentoring arrangement with peers, we offer facilitated matching sessions where you can meet, chat to and explore mentoring opportunities with others. To join ‘Pass it on’ please sign up to the next event on the branch events page.

Coaching supervision group

Our CIPD Northamptonshire coaching supervision group draws together coaches from around the county on a quarterly basis to reflect on their practice and share insights. The group uses a variety of supervisor led, 1-1 peer and peer group supervision techniques. The aim is to create a community of coaching practice that will become self-sustaining and enable members to work both as a peer supervision group and a source of one to one peer support.
