Intervision on Inner Development
This structured peer-coaching method fosters inner growth and reflection on personal development goals. Participants provide each other with feedback and support, promoting a growth mindset and adaptability to change.
Use this method when you want to encourage self-reflection, vulnerability, and peer support in developing inner skills and addressing personal challenges related to societal transitions.
Solves: Lack of self-awareness, resistance to change, difficulty in receiving feedback, superficial team interactions.
