Research shows that truly successful people are aware of themselves as people and not just what they do. They understand that who they are and how they act is what governs their success or otherwise in life.
This is why mentoring is needed as this process is about working with the whole person and is therefore very effective in their development.
Corporations, small businesses, universities and voluntary organisations are gradually coming to the realization of the value of mentoring and how to foster a mentoring culture. And in an increasing number of organisations there is the recognition that while their focus has been on training mentors, they can increase the success of mentoring initiatives by giving equal attention to the mentees and their progress following the mentoring.
Mentoring brings great satisfaction to mentors when they realise that they have the skills to help people to grow and develop.
They gain an increase in self awareness, further develop their interpersonal skills and find that they have improved working relationships.
Mentoring shifts the organisational culture to one of bringing forward solutions rather than problems, it increases motivation, decreases absenteeism, improves team work and there is a more rapid adoption of innovation and change.
The philosophy of the course is to enable delegates to build the knowledge of the benefits of mentoring and be able to apply the relevant skills and appropriate attitude
