Coaching and Mentoring at 含羞草视频

Releasing individuals鈥� potential, enabling them to be the best they can be

At 含羞草视频, we believe that people are at the heart of our success and we strive to provide an enriching and inspiring environment to help you achieve your very best.

Regardless of job family or grade all colleagues can, if they want to, apply to have access to a coach or mentor. Use these resources to help you to identify which form of support is most relevant to you. This may change over time, too, as your time at 含羞草视频 progresses.

What is coaching and mentoring?

Coaching

Coaching is a process where you are supported to make a change, learn something new or achieve a goal that you set. With your coach you explore and learn a range of techniques to help identify and play to your strengths and overcome barriers.

In a meeting a coach will use their ability to listen and to ask open questions to create a relationship of rapport and trust to help you clarify what your professional and or related personal goals are and to work out what to do to achieve them.

The University has a pool of trained internal coaches who adhere to the Association of Coaching’s, Code of Ethics and undertake regular continued professional development and supervision. They offer a maximum of four, one hour coaching sessions over a six-month period.

You may benefit from a coach if you would like:

  • Short-term support in achieving specific goals
  • To gain clarity around your professional goals
  • Support with considering your next professional steps
  • Space to reflect and consider your skills, strengths and areas for improvement
  • To consider what your values are and how your role aligns with them
  • To work through challenges or difficulties in your current role

Mentoring

Mentoring is a professional relationship in which a more experienced colleague (not necessarily a senior colleague) applies their knowledge and experience to support the development of a less experienced colleague in achieving their agreed developmental goals over a longer term.

The University has a pool of mentors who offer 12 hours of mentoring over a period of 12 months, designed to allow an average of one meeting per month.

You may benefit from a mentor if you would like:

  • Advice from a more experienced colleague in achieving your ‘big picture’ goals
  • To build relationships across the university
  • To gain career support through experience, information and advice
  • To advocate for and progress equal opportunity at 含羞草视频
