Learning more about how coaching and mentoring work can help address a number of workplace issues, for example: improve employee retention, enhance morale, increase motivation and productivity, create a positive work culture, and help individuals feel valued and connected.
In this presentation participants examine the similarities and differences between coaching and mentoring. They discover how both processes, when utilized in the right way, can help them achieve maximum personal and professional growth.
In addition, participants look at their own skill sets to see how they might be a coach or mentor to someone else. Recognizing the importance of the roles we all play and acting on those ideas can have a profound impact on our relationships. Actively engaging with others to turn their intentions into tangible and meaningful actions that help them achieve results is what coaching and mentoring are all about.

As leaders, many times we are not taught how to motivate or correct employee performance or behavior within the workplace. Much of what we learn is how to manage employees through a “Carrot-and-Stick” approach or through “Performance Improvement Plans.” However, building a leader’s coaching skills can dramatically shift an employee’s performance and uncover any blocks, issues, or fears that may be caused by an underlying problem that the leader may not be aware of.
In this workshop, participants will have an opportunity to learn and practice effective coaching skills to help build employee awareness, motivation, and improve performance.
