                    Mentoring
               Training Course
Every organisation needs some form of career development programme to produce a succession of motivated, upward moving employees.

Mentoring is the process of preparing staff for future change. It is often referred to as a journey of prompted discovery. An effective mentor will be looking at longer term career development and helping to improve leadership development and the retention of key people.

This course enables delegates to develop the skills of a mentor so they can bring the best out of their staff. Each delegate is given a handbook of key points from the course and advice from experienced mentors. They will have everything needed to prepare for their meetings with the mentee.

These are the interesting points covered in the course handbook:

  • Potential Benefits of Mentoring
  • Between First and Second Meetings
  • Mentor Qualifications
  • The Second Meeting
  • The Role of a Mentor
  • The Experiential Learning Cycle
  • Mentoring Skills

  • Frequent Questions asked by Mentors

We do not run training courses for people from different companies to attend. However, we do run courses consisting of one or two delegates. This enables us to move at the pace of the delegates (as fast or slow as necessary; as deep into the subject as appropriate, and with as much development as possible). These are not as expensive as you might think!
