Coaching & Mentoring

Coach, Mentor, Role Model, Supporter, Guide... whatever you call it, 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.

In this 2 hour live, instructor lead webinar, we will introduce participants to how to:

• Understand how coaching can be used to develop your team.
• Develop the coaching and mentoring skills that help improve individual performance.
• Demonstrate the behaviors and practices of an effective coach.
• Recognize employees’ strengths and give them the feedback they need to succeed.
• Identify employee problems and ways you can help to correct them.
