What does mentoring actually do?
Here’s a definition:
‘To support and encourage people to manage their own learning in order that they may maximise their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person that they want to be.’
Eric Parsloe, The Oxford School of Coaching & Mentoring
Why mentoring?
The demand for mentoring is greater than ever before across both business and sport. According to our client British Judo’s Head of Performance, Gary Henderson:
‘In the continuous cycle of sport and business working together, there are two major trends. First, business leaders are developing a more coaching style rather than coercive or didactic ones. Second, there’s a growing realisation of the need for mentors, even if you’re a Chief Executive.
Or as we’d say, mentoring is to help people be as good as they can.
‘Being a CEO or a sports coach is a very lonely place and you need someone there as a confidant with a different perspective to that from inside the organisation. Tony’s great strength as a mentor is his ability to listen, ask questions, set objectives, understand where you are and identify what actions you might need, from more experience to further education or new skills.’
Gary Henderson, Head of Performance Operations, British Judo
