MENTORING & COACHING

Coaching an individual we focus in on concrete issues, such as managing more effectively, speaking more articulately, and learning how to think strategically. Sometimes this only requires a few sessions with the idea of making a quick impact on the individual’s performance through enhancing their current skills and acquiring new ones.

​

Mentoring is relationship oriented. It seeks to provide a safe environment where the mentee shares whatever issues affect his or her professional and personal success. Mentoring an individual has more of a longer term plan. We require time with the individual to build a climate of trust that creates an environment in which the mentee can feel secure in sharing the real issues that impact his or her success. We focus on developing the individual not only for the current job, but also for the future.
