Practical skills for impactful guidance
Build your mentoring and coaching knowledge, skills and effectiveness to excel in any leadership role, whether it be as a mentor, manager or team leader with our Mentoring Skills and Practice Course.
Developing mentoring skills is not only crucial for effective mentoring but also plays an integral role in successful management and leadership. These skills encompass the ability to establish trust, empathise, communicate authentically and foster mutual understanding and collaboration – qualities that are indispensable for having strong and fruitful relationships and conversations, be it in a mentoring context or within a management and/or leadership role.
Effective mentors, managers, and leaders rely on these core competencies to boost the confidence, motivation, performance, resilience and mindset of individuals they work with, whether they are mentees, team members, peers or employees. By honing mentoring skills, one can cultivate a positive and supportive environment where individuals are encouraged to reach their full potential, contribute ideas, and collaborate effectively toward shared objectives, generating change and results.
Learn and practice the science and art of impactful mentoring and coaching with our self-paced Mentoring Skills and Practice Course. You’ll learn how to build meaningful relationships and have purposeful conversations, provide constructive feedback, and create a safe and supportive environment where people can learn, grow and perform.
As a younger professional, I face a constant internal battle of confidence in the skills I have and am still developing which I believe could be helpful to others and the imposter syndrome which constantly seems to invalidate my experiences and skills because “I haven’t been around for long”. This training helped me gain confidence in the my ability to mentor someone else by breaking down the important skills for mentoring and practicing them which lead to the realisation that I have what it takes and could develop a mentoring style that is specific to me.
