Overview
In our interactions with our clients, it is not unusual for part of our conversations to have a coaching component. Coaching can also be a powerful intervention for solving organizational challenges. As a result, many OD consultants have been eager to add coaching approaches to their toolkit.
Although most coaching is delivered one-on-one, there is amazing power in gathering peers together to provide coaching to one another. This is not a surprise for OD practitioners, since we consider the system and the individual to have impact on one another.
In this interactive workshop, you will learn about a powerful peer coaching approach which can be used in many different contexts. You will:
Peer coaching been applied in leadership development initiatives at Hewlett-Packard, among other companies. It has also been used successfully by members in the Bay Area OD Network and the Oregon OD Network.

Directions
Parking
As of late January, University Place has discontinued the $2.00 parking discount
for ODN-OR meeting attendees. Worst case is that parking for our meetings there
would be $3 per car for the evening. We hope to get that discount reinstated
and will be speaking directly with the PSU department that imposed the increase
on University Place's lot.
Other Parking Options:
1. Lucky in the Lot?: Some nights the booth has no attendant. On those nights
(and we have no way of knowing when that will occur) just park and come into
the meeting and you will not have to pay. If you see an attendant and donąt
want to pay $3.00 try the next option.
2. Metered Parking on nearby Streets At the rate of $1.25 per hour until 7pm
when it is free. For example, if you arrive at 6:15 for the meeting you would
pay $1.00 for 48 minutes of parking. Use coins, bills, or credit cards.
3. Where to find open parking spaces: Some spaces may be available on Lincoln
Avenue directly in front of University Place. Many more open spaces can be found
to the West of University Place on Fourth Avenue. Even better places to find
close-in, available spots are on the small side streets that join 4th Avenue,
directly West of University Place and to the West of 4th.
4. Think Sustainability Carpool with another member. When we upgrade our website,
hopefully there will be better ways for members to contact one another about
such things.
