Political Pod: Peer Coaching Support
All are welcome to this open session for the CCA community. The theme is peer support, learning from each other with compassion. It is open to all those coaching in the political arena, be it local, national or global, who would like support with any of the dilemmas they are facing. You could also focus on any of the Six Steps of the Shaping Tomorrow Playbook. Is there a skill or section you’d like a chance to practice, supported by your fellow coaches? Our January session gives you the opportunity to explore issues you are facing in a safe and constructive space, working with your peers to help you stretch beyond your current thinking. Two coaches will have 30 mins each to be coached. If there are more than two wanting to be coached, we have the option of breakout groups. If you would like to take up the opportunity to be coached by your fellow CCA members, please write a few sentences about what you’re most interested in working on and send it by 5 January 2026 to Fiona Anderson or Csilla Sztarinka political@climatecoachingalliance.org
We are all there to share and challenge with compassion. This session is not being recorded for confidentiality. Our joint lessons from this process and any key takeaways can be shared in our next Political Pod newsletter. Peer-coaches will be those who attend the session. The Political Pod is attended by experienced and empathetic coaches all of whom care deeply about the state of our planet and are aware of the power dynamics at play locally and globally.
