Abstract
The integration of leadership coaching in higher education has become increasingly prevalent, evolving from a specialized tool into a mainstream practice aimed at cultivating essential leadership skills in undergraduates. This paper explores the implementation of peer coaching interventions in undergraduate curricula, focusing on two models: The Coaching Trio Exercise and a Peer Coaching Groups (PCGs) class. These models promote self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and adaptability—skills crucial for leadership in today’s dynamic workforce. The paper argues that peer coaching offers a scalable, compassionate approach to leadership development, fostering student growth by helping them achieve personal goals while learning to guide others. Peer coaching, distinguished from compliance-based academic and sports coaching, emphasizes co-creation and mutual learning, equipping students with teamwork, communication, and emotional regulation skills sought by modern employers. Through case studies of coaching exercises integrated into leadership courses, this paper highlights the potential of coaching to enhance leadership education and career readiness in undergraduate students, bridging critical gaps in leadership competency development.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
