Mentoring Skills

Mentoring Skills Introduction Unlike coaching which is delivered predominantly by the line manager, Mentoring, a tool that is being used more and more in businesses today, is delivered by nominated "Business Champions".

Their task is to nurture and develop up and coming managers by discussing progress and future development.
