Course description
If you would like to be able to support a colleague or others through mentoring, this course is for you.
You would need to mentor someone, for example, a colleague as this is a practical course covering key skills including: questioning, goal-setting collaboratively and encouraging personal and professional growth.
This interactive course covers an introduction to mentoring and how if differs from coaching, counselling and training. It explores the role and responsibilities of mentors and how to prepare for mentoring sessions.
Participants explore how their values, beliefs and attitudes might affect their practice; how to give feedback and how to feed forward. We examine case studies and the use of questioning. We also explore mentoring theories and models as well as ethical frameworks. Participants will discuss ways of managing a mentoring relationship, how to reflect on our own practice and how to review and end a mentoring relationship well.
The sessions build on the WEA’s online Introduction to Coaching and Mentoring course.
