Description:

Coaching and mentoring have emerged as two of the most powerful ways to cultivate skills and knowledge in the workplace. The essence of these roles is to help learners to maximise their own performance. But it's not only learners who gain from the coaching or mentoring relationship. You'll find that coaches and mentors themselves gain many valuable insights and other benefits along the way.

This package provides you with all the knowledge and understanding you need to be a successful coach or mentor. It explains what coaching and mentoring actually involve, how to get on well with learners and how to make sure that they succeed in achieving their goals. It is endorsed for use with the OCR Certificate in Coaching Learners specification and the OCR Certificate in Mentoring in the Workplace specification.
