Integrating Coaching Into Your Mentoring
|
Wednesday, January 22, 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
The Edge Workshop Room, Bostock Library
|
Maria Wisdom, Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and Assistant Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement
|
What can academic mentors learn from professional coaches? Coaching is both a mindset and an evidence-based set of strategies that supports a person’s learning and growth in a powerful, non-directive way. When you “mentor like a coach” you become more collaborative, more curious and more focused on what your mentee needs. In this workshop you’ll learn the steps of a basic coaching conversation, practice on friendly colleagues and consider how coaching can enrich your mentoring.
