Workplace Coaching & Mentoring Programmes

Expertise to build internal capacity for coaching and mentoring.

Mentoring and workplace coaching programmes have a proven track record of fast tracking development by providing opportunities for individuals to focus on their aspirations and be supported in developing their existing skills and knowledge. Mentoring engages your greatest resource – your own people – and that offers a real competitive advantage.

Mentoring programmes require clarity of purpose, need to be well designed and have mechanisms for ensuring that they offer high value for time invested to all those who participate.

The New Zealand Coaching & Mentoring Centre has assisted a diverse range of clients to establish successful mentoring and workplace coaching programmes.
