Why use professional coaches and mentors?
Professional coaching or mentoring provide an excellent value return for your time. The skills of your mentor or coach enable you to gain insights and awareness that fast track learning from experience. This relationship is a partnership focussed on your needs, where you control your own learning and development.
The neutrality and independence of your mentor/coach, provide fresh perspectives, and a high trust environment for consequence-free learning.
Although many organisations pay for individuals to attend external mentoring, there is no feedback given to your organisation without your permission, and issues covered are not linked to any performance appraisal. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of an effective coaching or mentoring relationship.
What does a typical mentoring session look like?
A mentoring relationship can include a combination of face-to-face and telephone conversations, usually lasting one hour. Meetings are conducted on a monthly basis, with the option of increasing frequency if the need arises.
By the end of the first session you will have identified initial goals/focus for mentoring, attached to a timeframe. A commitment to meet regularly, for a specified timeframe, lays the foundation for a strong and beneficial mentoring partnership.
