WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
Our ILM Level 3, 5, and 7 programmes in Coaching and Mentoring require our delegates to practice Coaching over the course of their journeys.
Whilst many focus on internal Coachees/Mentees, we recommend having external Coachees and Mentees for this practice - which is where you come in!
What would I need to do?
Typically, a relationship would last for 6 sessions (between 30 mins and 1-hour per session) over the course of a 6-9 month period.
Throughout this time, you would have 4 key stages:
Chemistry - Where you meet with your potential Coach/Mentor to see if you would get on, get to know each other, and see if you think you would be able to work together.
Contracting - This will be lead by your Coach/Mentor, but the idea is to set the ground rules around your relationship, understand what you want to achieve and how.
Coaching/Mentoring Sessions - You will then undertake between 4-6 sessions with your Coach or Mentor, typically 1 a month
Review - You will have a post review with your Coach/Mentor, and possibly a mid-review as well, to ensure you are working well together, and that the relationship is beneficial.
At the moment, this is all virtual, but may be face-to-face as and when that would be appropriate.
Does this cost anything?
No - our practice Coaches and Mentors should not charge you for their services or any expenses accrued. This is a quid-pro-quo relationship, where they provide a free service, which hopefully will be beneficial to you, and they get the practice and feedback from you - this feedback would be after each session, either verbally, or in the form of completing a feedback sheet.
