peer coaching
Peer coaching is the social rite of vowing mutual growth while secretly concealing honest thoughts. It contains the paradox that the more faithfully one follows the procedures, the thinner its actual effectiveness becomes. Intended as a forum to share progress, it often degrades into nothing more than a complaint exchange. While promoting encouragement, it actually operates as a safety mechanism for self-preservation. The ideal of "mutual growth" manifests more in the distortions of scheduling than in sincere conversation.
