| Module Description: |
Interest in and the use of coaching and mentoring in organisations, and as methods of personal, professional and management development, have grown significantly. Both processes are more popular and prevalent in professional practice and have been subject to much academic and professional research and writing which suggest many issues and problems, as well as features of effective practice, that need to be taken into account when using the processes and methods. The research and writing also signals many unanswered questions about current practice and this module promotes an evidence-based approach to enable the development of intellectual, social and professional skills necessary to design, apply and practise coaching and mentoring programmes and services in work organisations and their application in supporting personal and performance development.
