A Coaching Approach to Mentoring
A Coaching Approach to Mentoring utilises the skills and tools of coaching to support colleagues in a way that allows space for thinking and dialogue.
This course explores the nuanced similarities and differences between coaching and mentoring from the perspective of both the mentor and mentee. This is essentially about expectations and the stance required to best serve the needs of your colleague at any given time.
Knowing when and how to respectfully share your expertise is an important skill in building positive relationships and is a key consideration in coaching and mentoring relationships.
