I see and I remember. I do and I understand.“ – Attributed to Confucius, around 500BC This subject requires you to thoughtfully develop your abilities in coaching and mentoring, and in weeks 8-11 we will be exploring the styles and techniques involved in doing this. These skills will serve you well in many facets of your life. To assist with developing your skills, you will be interacting with your fellow students or other people in your life to sharpen your abilities, allow you to observe others and receive assistance so you can learn to work meaningfully with others in the future. Each week, you will be presented with a scenario and take the roles of mentor/ coach, observer and employee through in-class role plays. The purpose of this assessment is for you to demonstrate and develop your knowledge and skill in mentoring and coaching as an evidence-based people development technique within organisations. Assessment Description Each week, you will be presented with a scenario and you will have the opportunity to take the role of a mentor, coach, observer or employee through in class or online discussion/ role plays. In doing so, you will be required to write a reflection or review of the experience of being involved in this exercise as mentor, coach, observer or employee of around 500 words. Over the following weeks you will be able to assemble three of these reviews as you engage in the week’s exercises, bringing your work to a total for this task of 1500 words. If you are taking this course online, your lecturer/facilitator can assist you to work on this with other classmates online, or you may opt to engage others in your immediate environment such as a friend, work colleague or family member.
