Coaching & Mentoring Skills
Not sure of the best way to develop others? Or struggling to motivate your team? Or would you like to develop your skills in improving the performance of others?
​
Having coaching and mentoring skills may just be what you need to make the difference or be the solution for the above questions
​
Coaching and Mentoring are two terms that are often used interchangeably, which is understandable as they are both great interventions that have a lot of overlap. Having said that they both have their differences.
​
Mentoring can be described as "a developmental process in which a more experienced person shares their knowledge with a less experienced person in a specific context through a series of conversations." The European Coaching and Mentoring Council.
​
Whereas coaching can be described as "The art of facilitating another person's learning, development and performance. Through coaching, people are able to find their own solutions, develop their own skills, change their own behaviors and attitudes." John Whitemore.

I offer training in both of these interventions.
