Why book this course?

Coaching and mentoring can be a unique and challenging remit. The desire to help team members improve can be tempered by concerns about jeopardising relationships, and creating unnecessary friction. Coaches and mentors must develop a light touch, providing guidance and support without lecturing or overstepping their mark.

Our Coaching and Mentoring for Managers course is for managers who wish to develop their coaching or mentoring skills at any level within an organisation. It aims to give participants a clear insight and understanding into the dynamics of mentorship, and how to develop skills and confidence while maintaining personal boundaries.

Who is the course for?

This course is ideal for line managers who want to improve their coaching and mentorship skills, getting the best out of team members and themselves.

Delegates will learn highly effective coaching and mentoring skills, enabling them to develop and improve team members as well as their own communications skills.

What content will the course cover?

• Highly effective coaching skills

• Giving effective feedback as a coach or mentor

• Listening and responding skills as a coach or mentor

What will I get out of the training?

When either coaching or mentoring, there is always the temptation to provide the solutions to the issue being discussed.  Through this course, we will help you find ways to help and encourage the person to find the solution themselves, improving your ability to listen and provide effective feedback.

Our Coaching and Mentoring for Managers course uses practical exercises and individual feedback to tailor the course to your needs.
