Coaching and Mentoring Skills

OVERVIEW

One of the key qualities of highly successful leaders is the ability to mentor and coach effectively. In this training, leaders learn how to coach and mentor using various tools and techniques. They learn the GROW Model, which assures that any coaching or mentoring session is effective and productive. 

 

This training is designed to be highly interactive with a mix of theory and practical sessions (group problem-solving/planning, experiential practice with role-playing of varying difficulty scenarios, interactive discussions & application exercises). Participants will emerge from the workshop having the knowledge and skills to become much more effective coaches and mentors. Also, they will know how to use the tools and techniques to drive staff motivators, ownership, productivity and effectiveness in their workplaces.  

 

Scenarios of varying complexity will be used to enable the participants to apply their messaging skills in situations that have contrasting dynamics. They will learn how their communication strengths in one situation can become a heavy obstacle in another, and how to therefore put their “best foot forward’ as consistently credible and motivating senior management mentors – regardless of the coachee /mentee’s personality type and frame of reference.  

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand the principles of coaching and mentoring.
