We’re all “remote workers” now – confined to our laptops, either working on our regular jobs, or freelance, or “gig” workers. How do we stay motivated, on purpose, and productive in our new virtual workplace?
Imagine that you had a “guardian angel” like a coach by your side, cheering you on, keeping you on target.
Peer Mentoring™ is a system in which two people agree to support each other based on complementary skills and needs, and the partners create a ‘contract.’ The purpose of this process is to create a productively paired ‘buddy system’ to help both of you achieve your individual goals.
In the Peer Mentoring process, people identify their own resources and those of others (using our Skills and Resources Inventory) and then create specific strategies for mutual goal achievement. It is a new adaptation of the age-old concept of reciprocity + barter practiced by all cultures.
I created and have used the Peer Mentor process with audiences and groups all over the world; as a learning accelerator, a success technique, a team building process, and as a model for collaboration.
I recently shared these ideas in a webinar sponsored by SMM (Sales and Marketing Management) and TMN (Training Magazine Network). If you’d like to listen to the replay, you can do it by clicking here:

If you’re not already a member of these networks, you can answer a few simple questions and you’ll have free access to these and many other wonderful webinars.
My new book, “YOU X 2” – about the process and its origins and practical applications, is now available as an e-book and in paperback.
