About the Course
Organizations increasingly recognize that scalable people development depends on managers who can coach and mentor effectively, not only on formal training programmes, yet many managers default to directive instruction rather than developmental coaching conversations.
This programme builds practical coaching and mentoring capability using structured models such as GROW, active-listening and powerful-questioning technique, and mentoring-relationship design, positioning participants to build an internal coaching culture within their teams.
Participants leave with a practised coaching-conversation framework and a mentoring-relationship plan, along with a pathway toward an internal certified-coach track for those seeking to formalize the skill.
Target Participants
People managers at all levels, HR and learning and development professionals, Aspiring and current internal coaches and mentors, Senior professionals establishing mentoring relationships, and Team leaders building a coaching culture.

- Apply the GROW coaching model to developmental conversations.
- Use active-listening and powerful-questioning techniques.
- Design effective mentoring relationships.
