Coaching and Mentoring - Training Guides (Word DOCX)

Coach, Mentor, Role Model, Supporter, Guide... do these words ring a bell? Being a coach involves being able to draw from several disciplines. Coaching is based on a partnership that involves giving both support and challenging opportunities to employees. Mentorship is a related skill that is often a part of coaching. It's about being a guide, offering wisdom and advice when it is needed.

Knowing how and when to coach (and when to use other tools, like mentoring) is an essential skill that can benefit both you and your organization.

Teach participants:
•  How coaching can be used to develop a team
•  The coaching and mentoring skills that help improve individual performance
•  The behaviors and practices of an effective coach
•  How to recognize employees' strengths and give them the feedback they need to succeed
•  How to identify employee problems and ways that they can help correct them

In today's professional environment, there is no clear path or ladder to success. There used to be more structured pathways for professionals to climb from one job to another, though now, with the speed of technology as one contributing factor, the menu of choices is almost overwhelming.

Having more mentoring and coaching in the workplace is that much more compelling. While professionals can boost their technical competence by themselves, people-centered skillsets generally grow with mentoring and coaching, as you need a sounding board for the exchange of ideas, and room for vulnerability.
