To develop a culture in which coaching and mentoring will help preserve and strengthen our capacity for knowledge sharing, enterprise, innovation, individual empowerment, open communication, decision-making, resilience and the flexibility to deal with change. Please watch this short video from our Deputy Vice-Chancellor, outlining the importance of developing a coaching culture at our University.
A coach’s role at our University is to support staff with specific work challenges. The coach supports the development of the staff member by asking the right questions and assisting them to uncover their own knowledge and skills and change their behaviours. Coaches encourage coachees to deliver a stronger work performance. A coach believes that the coachee has all the tools and resources available within them to work towards their goals.
Working in partnership with University of Leeds we are working towards expanding our pool of professionally qualified (CMI Level 5) workplace coaches. Our coaching and mentoring lead Christian helps to match coaches and coachees - please contact him if you would like to know more (his details are at the bottom of this page).
"Coaching has enabled me to really take charge of my decision making, I am more confident in my ability and feel more prepared for challenges that I might come across. It has helped me understand that I am capable and I can be confident in my abilities." - Feedback from a coachee on the impact coaching has had for them.
If you have an array of knowledge and experience, why not pass it on to the next generation? If you haven’t been a mentor before but are interested in becoming one, watch this LinkedIn Learning session on Mentoring Others.
