Developing Coaches and Mentors.

Skilled coaching or mentoring should be an integral part of any management development strategy. The development of an internal cadre of coach/mentors can produce and sustain significant long-term benefits.

LeaderShape has developed a proven and successful model for training internal Coach/Mentors for organisations.

Starting with an initial two day programme, coach/mentors are developed both individually and as a cohort. Their development period continues over a course of 6 months to one year dependent upon the nature and scope of the client's requirements. This continuing development is provided by a combination of one-to-one coaching and skills workshops delivered by an experienced external coach-tutor who will act in a supervisory role during and following the training programme.

A typical programme would include:

  • Introduction to the concept of coach/mentoring.
  • Self-awareness - the key to unlocking successful coach/mentoring.
  • Mentoring and coaching skills – including questioning and feedback technique.
  • Introduction to the coaching model.
  • Coaching practice.
  • Reflection Techniques.
  • One to one verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
  • Listening Skills.
  • Additional Coaching Tools to take the skills to the next level.

Why train your internal coach/mentors?

Rather than just relying on the passing on of business and managerial experience, a formal coach/mentor training programme:

  • Significantly improves the mentoring process and the development of those who mentor and are being mentored.
  • Improves team performances.
  • Creates and embeds  a strong learning and coaching culture.

“One thinks one knows how to do something, but it is not until shown by a professional that one realises all the gaps in ones knowledge and style and the rationale behind the actions one takes.”

Hugh Burnett OBE, DL, FCA
Ex-Chairman Cash Bases

“Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the coach/mentoring course and having the opportunity to meet you. I am looking forward to our January meeting and enhancing my coaching skills over the coming months.”
