Today, coaching is becoming a “go to” competency within organizations for development and growth. Coaching and mentoring processes are often confused with each other. There are clear and appropriate times to use either coaching or mentoring. During this program, we will create clarity between multiple “development” competencies. Coaching is a process that enables learning and development to occur and performance to improve at anytime and anyplace. Coaching helps to lay the foundation for improving the relationship between managers and the people they support and depend on. It recognizes the importance of clear agreements in all interactions and provides a context to create the safe environment essential for a manager and employee to engage in open and honest dialogue and communication.
