In today’s competitive world, managers are constantly under pressure to get the best out of people on a continuous basis for organizational performance improvement and one way to achieve this is through implementing effective coaching and mentoring of individuals to help them learn new skills, enhance problem analysis and strategic thinking, make better decisions and facilitate their personal and career growth.
In this 2-day program, participants build both their cognitive understanding of, and practical skill at the component elements of developing others.
At each step of the process participants receive specific, individualized feedback on both their observed strengths and their areas for development at the constituent skills required from Professor Jenner, his team of expert coaches and fellow participants.
As part of the course pre-work, participants are asked to identify the biggest coaching and mentoring challenges they face. These specific challenges are engaged with over the course of the two days, with Professor Jenner ensuring that each participant graduates with a clear road map for how to continue to develop after the course concludes.
Participants leave the program with demonstrably greater competence and confidence in their ability to develop the effectiveness of others through coaching and mentoring.
Participants will spend the majority of the two days in action, repeatedly engaging in interactions with their fellow participants and receiving continuous feedback from both participants and coaches around their effectiveness at these behaviors. It is through repeated practice that participants build both their understanding of, and their effectiveness at, coaching and mentoring.
