Coaching & Mentoring
What you will learn
For today’s leaders, coaching is a constant requirement because of the need for staff development caused by the pace of change, both in technology and processes, and staff turnover. You will learn how to identify coaching needs, best practice communication skills, learner mindsets, states of competence, and some simple yet effective models on which to build your coaching sessions. You’ll examine behaviour- based coaching and cognitive coaching. You’ll also learn your own learning style and what it takes to be an effective coach. Mentoring requires similar skills but they are applied in a different way, assisting others in their thinking processes to enable them to determine their own way forward or find their own solutions.
