Harnessing and developing the skills, talents and abilities of people in an organization on a continuing basis is the foundation for success. Coaching and mentoring skills can help executives develop greater leadership, team management and people management capabilities, leading to greater personal effectiveness and increased organization efficiency.

Conducted by acclaimed international trainer and mentor, John Hunter Murray, “Principles, processes and practices for effective coaching and mentoring” is a two day workshop that will provide participants with a clear understanding of the importance coaching and mentoring plays in people and organization development and what they need to do to be successful in it. Leveraging the learnings of the program, they will be able to play a leadership role in the definition of coaching policy and implementation and contribute in new ways to organizational goals.

This workshop is designed to provide participants with the principles, processes and practices of coaching. In addition, participants will receive basic skills in building rapport, listening with effective questioning, creating action plans and follow up mechanisms. Hands on, interactive and practical, participants will be able to apply these useful models in a business context.

All participants of the Coaching & Mentoring Skills will receive a complimentary “Identity Compass” evaluation as a benefit of participation. Typically priced at US $ 150, The Identity Compass is an innovative personnel selection tool which uses an inventory of "thinking structures". It registers how people think and make decisions in typical work situations. It points out what motivates individuals, what their values are and what their career goals are. The Identity Compass gives clear guidance on when you are likely to perform best, in which situations and how improvement can best be achieved.
