Coaching and Mentoring

Traditionally, coaching and mentoring have been highly directive, namely, an experienced person telling a less experienced person what to do. This approach undoubtedly achieves results, but there are limitations. For example, the coachee becomes dependent on their coach; the mentee does not move beyond the competencies of their mentor; and the coachee does not take responsibility for their own learning.

Our approach to coaching and mentoring takes the more contemporary view that the brain with the problem is the brain with the solution. We find that this generates a process that is rich in insights and learning for the coachee/mentee, and get results fast. This approach is based on the work of Carl Rogers and his theory of facilitative learning. He argued that we have a natural eagerness to learn; resistance to giving up what is currently held to be true; and that the most significant learning involves changing one's concept of oneself.
