Ellipsis Coach Development - Mentor Coaching (SOLD OUT)
Each cohort runs for 4 X 2 hour sessions spread across 4 months. You'll need to attend all dates.
what is MENTOR coaching?
Mentor Coaching is a developmental coaching process in which coaching is observed and objectively assessed against a set of criteria or competences. The aim is to raise the quality of coach skills and approaches, so they are the best they can be.
It differs from ‘supervision’ in that the focus of mentor-coaching is your coaching and its impact on the client; ‘supervision’ is about the coach, rather than the coaching, and is a more subjective process, addressing whatever a coach might choose to bring. So, the focus of mentor-coaching is your coaching as it happens, where both mentor-coach and coach access the same material ‘live’ and ‘in the moment’.
How will this programme work?
In an intimate cohort of no more than eight coaches, you will take turns to coach each other (as you may have done in your training) while your mentor-coach, and your peers, partner to observe your coaching. You will then receive constructive feedback on your coaching, with reference to agreed benchmark competencies (you will determine which specific competencies to focus on), to support you to improve your effectiveness and power as a coach.
When does it take place?
There will be four group meetings, spaced two or three weeks apart, for two hours each. Dates will be determined once the group is constituted.
It will be an intense learning experience. You must commit to attend all meetings for the absolute benefit of everybody working with in this group.

- An initial contracting session, agreeing how we work together
- Reflection and implementation planning for your coaching practice
- Guidance on the real challenges of observation and offering feedback
