Coaching and Mentoring Skills
You can mentor somebody to help them understand that the high jump is just the thing for them and then coach them over the jump. Most people are understandably confused about the difference between coaching and mentoring. At Psychological Solutions we see mentoring as a means to facilitate general personal development and coaching as focused on specific development areas.
We can help the people in your organisation develop the skills which are central to effective mentoring and coaching. By showing your people how they can actively develop their colleagues we can help you ensure that expert knowledge and the lessons of experience are successfully shared throughout your organisation. Our coaching and mentoring solutions give your people the hands-on skills they need to mentor and coach their peers, subordinates and even their superiors. At the heart of our approach are the techniques which enable potential coaches and mentors to;

understand the role of the mentor and coach within the context of wider leadership skills
develop a deeper understanding of mentoring and coaching processes
extend their helping skills to mentor and coach more effectively
enhance their existing helping and counselling skills
practise and receive feedback on their mentoring and coaching skills

Every aspect of our coaching and mentoring skills solutions is supported with a range of learning and recording materials so that individuals and your organisation can keep their skills up to date and also track every stage of the mentoring or coaching process.
  In addition to helping the people in your organisation develop the skills needed to coach and mentor their colleagues, all of the topics and issues covered on our web site can be offered to you and your colleagues as coaching. We can also give you access to expert mentors. We are also interested in hearing from individuals who would be interested in commercial mentoring projects or in offering pro bono mentoring support to young people.
