Topics Covered
​
Understanding Coaching and Mentoring
This module focuses on defining coaching and mentoring, highlighting their differences, and understanding their complementary roles. Participants will explore how coaching is a goal-oriented, performance-focused approach, while mentoring provides broader guidance on career development and personal growth. This module will help leaders identify when to use each approach effectively, tailoring their conversations to the unique needs of team members. By the end, participants will have a clear framework for leveraging both methods to drive individual and team success.

Building Trust and Rapport
Trust is the cornerstone of effective coaching and mentoring. In this module, participants will learn techniques to build trust and create a safe environment for open dialogue. Topics include fostering authenticity, practicing empathy, and respecting confidentiality. Leaders will gain insight into overcoming barriers to trust and learn how to build strong, positive relationships with their mentees or coachees. This foundation will enable them to establish the mutual respect necessary for meaningful and productive development conversations.

Active Listening and Powerful Questioning
Great coaches and mentors are exceptional listeners and ask the right questions. This module delves into the art of active listening, teaching leaders to focus fully, interpret non-verbal cues, and avoid judgment. Participants will also explore techniques for asking open-ended, thought-provoking questions that encourage critical thinking and self-reflection. Through practical discussions, participants will enhance their ability to guide meaningful conversations and empower team members to find solutions independently.

Providing Constructive Feedback
Constructive feedback is essential for growth, yet it is often challenging to deliver effectively. This module equips leaders with strategies for giving feedback in a way that inspires improvement without discouraging the recipient. Participants will learn to balance positive reinforcement with areas for development, frame feedback constructively, and follow up to ensure progress. Real-life scenarios will be used to ensure participants feel confident addressing sensitive issues and fostering a growth mindset within their teams.

This module focuses on helping leaders guide their team members in setting achievable, long-term goals and creating actionable development plans. Participants will learn to align individual goals with organisational objectives, track progress, and adjust plans as needed. By the end of the module, leaders will understand how to provide ongoing support and accountability, ensuring that team members feel empowered to take ownership of their growth journey.
