Leading through

Mentoring and Coaching

​

The Leading through Mentoring and Coaching Programme develops the skills leaders need to support, guide, and grow others effectively. Delivered over six months, the programme blends workshops, real‑world practice, structured reflection, and ongoing support to build deep, sustainable capability. Participants strengthen communication, active listening, questioning techniques, and the ability to hold meaningful developmental conversations. They learn how to build capability in their teams, encourage accountability, and create a culture where people feel supported to learn, grow, and perform at their best.

​

Designed for supervisors, managers, emerging leaders, and experienced professionals, the programme provides practical tools that can be applied immediately and reinforced over time. The extended structure ensures participants not only learn new skills but embed them through real‑world application and ongoing coaching practice.

​

A Practical, People‑Centred Approach to Leadership

Mentoring and coaching are essential leadership capabilities. When leaders know how to guide others effectively, teams become more engaged, more capable, and more aligned. This programme helps participants understand the difference between mentoring and coaching, when to use each approach, and how to adapt their style to meet the needs of different individuals and situations.

​

Coaching and Mentoring Project (6‑Month Applied Learning)

A unique feature of this programme is the six‑month Coaching and Mentoring Project. Each participant selects a real workplace coaching or mentoring relationship and applies the tools, frameworks, and techniques learned throughout the programme. They receive guidance, reflection points, and structured check‑ins to support their progress.

 

This long‑term project ensures participants:

• practise coaching and mentoring in real situations

• build confidence through repeated application

• reflect on challenges and refine their approach

• demonstrate measurable growth over time

• strengthen capability in their teams and workplace

 

By the end of the programme, participants have not only developed new skills, they have lived them, tested them, and integrated them into their leadership practice.
