Critical Core Skills Series – Navigating the Grey: Peer Coaching for Complex Work Challenges – 22 Jul 2025

Providing our students and alumni with ample opportunities to upskill themselves and explore new ways of approaching real-world problems is a cornerstone of our mission here at the South East Asia Centre! 🫡

This week, we held a high-energy, hands-on workshop as part of our Critical Core Skills series, “Navigating the Grey: Peer Coaching for Complex Work Challenges”, led by Executive Coach Andrew Jones, where participants were introduced to Andrew’s powerful Rapid Peer Coaching method.

What makes Rapid Peer Coaching unique?
It’s about looking at a problem without the pressure of solving it, and simply putting up any perspectives, ideas, or even questions that arise. The method helps with identifying blind spots, simplifying an issue, and surfacing emotions around the issue — things that often remain hidden in traditional problem-solving approaches. It also encourages embracing silence during discussions. Above all, it’s rooted in sincere curiosity — about the issue, and about the people involved.

“What struck me most about the workshop was the framework’s ability to quickly bring clarity and diverse perspectives through peer input. Unlike traditional coaching, it allows space for reflection without the pressure to act immediately. I found it to be a simple yet powerful tool anyone can use.” – Roger Lek, Global MBA Alumni

Thank you to everyone who joined us! Your enthusiasm and diverse perspectives created such a vibrant and meaningful experience. We look forward to seeing you at the next one!
