Perspectives on Peer Coaching
The relevance of YCN's modules, style of delivery and commitment to connecting it all into our values really motivated our managers to evolve their approach and with the impact clear to us immediately.

A multi-year partnership to support the launch and roll out of a new performance management strategy —YCN facilitators worked alongside internal Dr. Martens team members, using a train-the-trainer approach to support ongoing roll-out in key markets.
