coach mentoring & supervision

There are major benefits to companies employing external mentor coaches to support and mentor their internal coaches. The advantages include:

External coaches are not affected by company culture.
The external coach can ask questions that expose limiting beliefs and assumptions within the organisation. This fresh thinking creates the space for bigger steps to be taken than would have emerged otherwise.

External coaches are not limited by the company's "stories".
Within any organisation or industry there are expected norms and current situations that are perceived as "just the way things are". The external coach does not know and will therefore challenge where it may not occur to the internal coach to go.

External coaches are just coaches!
Internal coaches and manager-coaches may have other roles to play and so cannot give full attention to the client at all times. The mentor coach is not affected by company structures and politics and may find it easier to go where it is harder for the internal coach to tread.

Professional development.
Having a coach mentor develops the internal coach personally and professionally, making them better coaches and clearer thinkers. We can also provide mentoring and support for in house coaches wishing to move to formal credentialing with the International Coach Federation.

Staff retention.
Having invested time and money in the training of in-house coaches, mentoring is an excellent way to retain that member of staff - it shows dedication to the coach and to their professional development and maximises their development and impact on the bottomline.

We run various very cost-effective mentoring schemes for companies and can even train your inhouse coaches in peer mentoring skills.
