Coaching & Mentoring

See below some of the strategies we use to help our clients achieve outstanding results in deepening their learning, improving their performance, and enhancing their quality of professional and personal life.

• Facilitate the exploration of needs, motivations, desires, skills and thought processes to assist the individual in making real, lasting change
• Use questioning techniques to facilitate client’s own thought processes in order to identify solutions and actions rather than takes a wholly directive approach
• Assist in a shift of the mentees intellectual context and perspective and confront limitations, blockages or negativity
• Support the client in setting appropriate goals and methods of assessing progress in relation to these goals
• Observe, listen and ask questions to understand the client’s situation
• Creatively apply tools and techniques which may include one-to-one training, facilitating, counselling & networking
• Encourage a commitment to action and the development of lasting professional and personal growth & change
• Maintain unconditional positive regard for the client, which means that the coach/mentor is at all times supportive and non-judgemental of the client, their views, lifestyle and aspirations
• Share tried and proven strategies from mentors real life experiences and success
• Ensure that clients develop personal competencies and do not develop unhealthy dependencies on the coaching or mentoring relationship.
• Evaluate the outcomes of the process, using objective measures wherever possible to ensure the relationship is successful and the client is achieving their professional and/or personal goals
• Encourage clients to continually improve competencies and to develop new developmental alliances where necessary to achieve their goals.

The common thread uniting a combination of coaching & mentoring is that these services offer a vehicle for analysis, reflection and action that ultimately enable the client to achieve success in one or more areas of their life or work.

Delivery Method

It is important to acknowledge that coaching and mentoring is not a quick fix when the goal is to achieve long term transformation and success. Sessions are approximately 60 – 90 minutes long and are conducted face to face and over the telephone on a weekly basis for 3 to 12 months depending on the need of the individual and the organisation.
