The Fishbowl Experience
To support the transfer of learning from the online course to the workplace, each participant will be assigned one of the modules from the online course. You will be required to bring a real-life case scenario that demonstrates how you have applied the concepts from your assigned module to your workplace. You will share your case scenario during one of the coaching circles with the coach, while your fellow participants observe.
After the coaching session, fellow participants will share their insights, feedback and suggestions with the you. The goal is to create a supportive space for reflection, exploration, and learning.
Testimonials
Great course on psychological safety
I have just completed Creating Brave Spaces. It is exceptionally well done. It was a great refresher for me on many fronts and was enlightening in the psychological safety area. The video clips were very good.
Everyone should take this course!
I feel that everyone within my organization should take this course
Grow as a leader
Any opportunity to grow as a leader is time that although may be difficult in the moment will pay off tenfold in time.
Great course on communication
Helped me learn a different leadership style and there was lots of content on communication. I will use a lot of tools from this course.
Highly Recommend!
I would recommend the course because it’s a great way to meet and learn from others outside of your workplace. You also understand that others are going through similar issues.
Increasing my self-awareness
I do not take a lot of time to focus on myself and my own values. I am rather always concerned about other people. The course was a good reminder to focus on myself, as my emotions and values affect the way my conversations go with other people.
Managing Burnout
Within policing "work/life" balance is a "buzz" word that is often talked about but rarely understood by senior executives. I learned the importance of guardrails and strategies to better manage burnout and over exhaustion.
How to be a good leader
I am new to leadership, taking this course provided skills and ideas on how to be a good leader, and to find my leadership style.

Your coach will help you identify a real scenario to explore. All you need is a willingness to reflect and grow.
-
What if I fall behind on modules?
We offer pacing suggestions, but you can complete content as it fits your schedule. Staying current helps you get the most from coaching.
-

-
What’s the attendance commitment for the program?
Successful completion of the program requires full participation. Our cohorts are intentionally small—about 5–10 people—so every person’s presence matters. When you step into the fishbowl for peer coaching, the experience only works if others are there to listen, offer insight, and support you through your real-life coaching challenge. Likewise, your presence ensures others receive the same powerful and meaningful support when it’s their turn.
