Course description
Foundations of Mentoring
Mentors show us the ropes, provide us with guidance, and help us navigate the professional landscape and overcome challenges in order to grow personally and professionally. An age-old institution, mentoring has stood the test of time. Plato mentored Aristotle, and Thomas Edison mentored Henry Ford.
On the surface, at least, mentoring can seem like a simple coaching tool to implement. However, its familiarity and seeming simplicity can lead us to underestimate the challenges that come with creating successful mentoring relationships.
This mentoring coaching training addresses the core building blocks of mentoring, the relationship itself, and the logistics that surround the relationship. By focusing on both the people-side as well as the process-side of mentoring, participants leave the training with a well-rounded understanding of how to develop a mentor-mentee relationship that will have longevity and how to create an impact that is sustainable.
This course is also available in: 1/2 Day and 1 Day formats, allowing for various coaching options to suit your needs.
