Increase in Coaching and Mentoring in the workplace

The current trend

Coaching and mentoring, whether on an executive-level or for overall staff, are increasingly being recognised as important in employee development.

It is acknowledged by senior management in many organisations that their company will thrive if they offer some form of coaching and mentoring to their staff.

Growing Trend

我们尤其意识到这一教练和指导在英国种植的趋势是多少，因为这是我们大多数客户都是基于的。雷竞技里面的钱能提出来吗

我们与自动为新员工分配导师的公司合作，有些人将其留给员工寻找教练，以便自己寻找教练，有些人没有或不会看到为他们的人民和刚才有教练的优势两者之间的一切。

幸运的是,越来越多的企业给他们people an understanding of the benefits of coaching and mentoring, of which there are many, and more people are training and acquiring qualifications in coaching and mentoring than ever before.

Everyone's On The Bandwagon

It seems as though everyone from business schools to the corner shop is getting on the coaching and mentoring bandwagon.

This isn't a bad thing.

What To Do

How do I know what to do?

The only problem is that for someone who has never used a coach or mentor before, it can all be very confusing.

For those who want to train to become a coach or mentor, the choices can seem daunting:

"Where do I begin?'

For companies who want to initiate a coaching and mentoring programme, they want reassurance of the tangible benefits and return on their investment.

我们的目标是在这里做的是简要介绍一下，了解和洞察只是究竟是什么教练和指导意味着，一些教练和指导理论，并告诉我们认为是一个好教练或导师所需的观点。

Coaching and Mentoring Overview

Is there a difference between Coaching and Mentoring?

We're going to cop out here and say there probably can't be a definitive answer to this. The two terms seem to be increasingly linked and are often used interchangeably.

这些恰好是我们的定义，但如果你环顾四周，我们相信你会发现一堆别人。

运动辅导

我们在我们看到体育教练的方式中看到了一家商家，公司或执行教练。

This person sets specific goals and objectives, sees what you need to do to achieve them and works with you on target setting, professional and personal development, expansion of your skills base and offers practical and relevant advice and guidance.

指导朋友

A mentor can almost be seen as a wise, experienced friend or favourite aunt or uncle type person. A mentor leads by example and is a role model.

他们可能非常擅长帮助您看到大局，了解您为您工作的组织的政治。

教练可以是导师，导师可以是教练，或者角色可以卷成一个。关键是，无论您使用的术语，被授权或指导的人都获得了无偏见的支持和指导。

Benefits of Coaching and Mentoring

When you work with a coach or mentor you will benefit in many ways:

有一个安全的地方卸载
Develop skills you already have
Learn new skills
Gain insight into yourself and the people you work with
Get unbiased, confidential support
Gain fresh perspectives on your issues
Get advice, suggestions and options

教练和指导理论

我们可能是询问教练和指导理论的错误公司。

As a matter of fact, we're not too hot on the theory since we believe that you can't pigeonhole people and impose a template of how coaching and mentoring should look.

在某种程度上,我们假设你可以说having a counselling skill is a good 'theoretical' place to start.

The principles that a good counsellor needs to have are equally true for good coaches and mentors:

Maintains confidentiality
Excellent listening and responding skills
不予评论
Objective outlook
Advises rather than tells
有'Mentee's'是心灵的最佳利益

Find The Right Training

正如我们之前所说的那样，当围绕教练和指导的“东西”时，列表是无穷无尽的。

有一堆培训课程，计划，资格，证书和研讨会，所有人都声称为您提供成为教练和/或导师所需的技能。

We can't say which of these is any good.

Here are some essentials to look for when finding the right training for you:

No promises about outcomes
It shouldn't cost the earth
It needs to have a high degree of integrity
It should be practical and experiential
你应该感受到运行它的人的兼容性
You should be given lots of individual suggestions on how to develop yourself as a coach/mentor

Trust your tummy! Meet up before you sign up and ask lots of questions.

Pick Someone Who Is Already Doing It

An example of someone who's 'doing it'

然而，我们可以让您了解影响工厂的一个人的洞察力，他们是一名教练和导师以及她所拥有的技能范围，帮助她做这项工作。雷竞技注册

Jo Ellen Grzyb, one of the founding partners, has an eclectic background, which we believe is a good place to start when thinking about training to become a coach and mentor.

We say this because the more experience you have, obviously, the more you bring to the job.

Wide Experience

Jo Ellen以一种形式或其他形式，在大西洋的两侧工作了30年。在14年前，在创建冲击工厂之前，她培养了一名心理治疗师和历史开发课程。雷竞技注册

她有多年的个人心理治疗，并与她自己的主管每月一次。

She has also changed careers a number of times and has real insight into how to 'take the plunge' and move one when something isn't working well.

She writes, appears on radio and telly.

She's a brilliant networker and isn't particularly self-deprecating about what she can offer people.

Enabling Others

Through all her years of experience, one consistent theme has been her focus on enabling other people to do their work better.

最重要的是，她从来没有坐在等待其他人身上，让它发生这种情况 - 她刚刚走了，成功或失败不如做的那么重要。

All of that makes her excellent in her role as a coach and mentor.

Take A Good Look

Why we've given you that thumbnail sketch is that we get lots of enquiries from people wanting to become coaches and mentors who are looking for someone else to make it happen for them.

That ain't going to work.

If you want to train as a coach and mentor, you need to take a good, impartial look at yourself to see if you've got what it takes.

Remember earlier we said that everyone seems to be getting on the coaching and mentoring bandwagon? Well, we feel pretty strongly that a lot of them should get off. Having said that, the profession is open for good, committed people.

You may be one of them.

Using a Coach or Mentor

我如何得到一个？

As we can see there's no shortage of people wanting to become coaches and mentors. But what if you want to use one. Where do you begin?

Of course, the best place to look is your workplace. If they already have a corporate coaching and mentoring programme that you aren't accessing, get yourself to HR ASAP and ask to be assigned one.

You could also look around your company and identify someone you think would make an excellent coach or mentor and ask them if they'd be willing.

使用正式或非正式方法同样有效。关键是与您喜欢的人合作，欣赏和与您感到舒适的人。
