"Peer Coaching and Continuous Feedback"

Honest, candid, constructive feedback is incredibly important for job performance but you don't get enough opportunities for useful feedback. Your best chance at getting good, continuous feedback that will actually help you get better is to leverage your peers. Peer coaching is a great way to get feedback, put it to use, and improve performance with the ongoing support you need to succeed.
