About the session
Part of the role of a leader, and one of the key facets of professional and academic success, is to help to develop and empower those around you. Moreover, it is also vital for us to seek out the right people to help support and challenge us as we develop. Some of this development will be undertaken formally – through training, teaching and tutorial – but at higher levels, much development comes through coaching and mentoring relationships. In this session, we’ll explore what coaching and mentoring are and the skills that coaches and mentors use to help realise an individual’s potential.
