We promote mentoring because both processes reflect our own values: future and solution focused, relational, challenging and reality based, and bring about positive behaviour change.
Effective coaching results in broadening skills and increasing performance – so that clients can contribute more positively and productively.
Our mentoring support at IMA takes several different forms. It is all about providing the right path for an individual to support their development and for them to progress in their work, life, career decision.
We see mentoring as a process to support professional development, where we provide a trusted advisor who assists faster learning. We will focus on the mentee’s agenda and share wisdom and experience with them. Mentoring allows you space and time for thinking, with a clear focus on an issue or goal, specifically, creating an atmosphere to explore challenges, options, make decisions, and plan ahead. We find it is usually more about questions than answers and during this we provide quality listening.
We will offer confidential advice as needed, leaving the responsibility for action with the mentee. We believe that everyone has unlimited potential and usually knows what needs to happen or change and our mentors want what is best for each mentee. The important things happen after the mentoring.
