Peer Coaching Groups (PCGs) are flexible, effective developmental tools commonly
utilized by Fortune 500 companies and prestigious business schools. In response to the dearth of
actionable PCG guidelines, this paper presents a structured blueprint for implementing PCGs in
business school curricula, addressing meeting dynamics, objectives, participant roles, and potential
pitfalls. Framed by Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model, we provide adaptable guidelines for shortterm and long-term PCGs in the organizational behavioral educational context. The paper highlights
PCGs' potential to enrich students' educational experience through experimentation in applying
organizational behavior, leadership, and other relevant materials, while fostering developmental
relationships in the classroom. Educators can use this guideline to seamlessly incorporate PCGs into
coursework, fortifying students with experiential learning and a holistic approach to personal and
professional development.
Keywords: peer coaching groups, experiential learning, human resource development, coaching.
