Abstract:

"Definitions of the terms "coaching" and "mentoring" tend to be ambiguous and are often confusing for clients who need to assess the benefits of these activities. Facilitating Reflective Learning Through Mentoring and Coaching provides clarity by offering a theoretical framework presenting coaching and mentoring models together with examples of how they can be applied in practice." "Robust theory is backed up by practical exercises, case studies, training workshop templates, learning partner handouts and tools for selecting prospective mentors. Important guidance is also given on sensitive areas such as the boundary between mentoring or coaching and therapy, and the need for codes of practice."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary

What is the difference between a 'coach' and a 'mentor'? How can practitioner's and clients assess their benefits if there is little or no general understanding as to their meaning? This book offers answers by describing the different theoretical models available for coaching and mentoring and by looking at how these models are applied in practice. Robust theory is backed up by practical advice. Numerous practical exercises, case studies, templates - including a Training Workshop template - learning partner handouts and a questionnaire for selecting prospective mentors are included. Advice is also included on sensitive areas such as the boundary between mentoring or coaching and therapy, and the desirability of supervision and codes of practice.
