Coaching and mentoring are now considered an integral part of successful leadership. More and more organisations are looking to establish a coaching culture within their organisation to improve learning and performance, make the most of their people’s potentials and deliver sustainable results.

This highly interactive and hands-on programme will equip delegates with coaching and mentoring skills and behaviours that can be used to add real value in an organisation and develop staff’s capabilities and potential.

Using practical exercises and case studies, delegates will gain clear insights into the complexities of coaching and mentoring and how they can be used to build more successful and productive individuals, teams and organisations.
