Mentoring and Coaching

Mentoring and coaching have a very similar approach and use a comparable skill set. However, coaching is often suggested to be more short term task-based whereas mentoring implies a longer term relationship.

Understanding of the brain clearly shows that successfully working through challenges is greatly enhanced by understanding, feedback and encouragement.  The combination of these help the individual to push to higher levels of achievement and are key ingredients for developing a ‘can do’ attitude.

Possible areas of work are:

• Study skills techniques
• Goal setting
• Motivation challenges
• Focus
• Exam fear
• Organisation
• Challenging behaviour
• Anger management 

Glia Learning  does individual mentoring and coaching at schools, corporate and privately at home.  For the latter there are travel limits and sessions are mainly on a Saturday.

The most common package for schools is a 10-day contract, working out as roughly one day a month during school term.  Students or staff who attend these sessions have wide-ranging needs or requests.  The programme is therefore highly flexible with regular feedback to school-based contact person.  

Please contact us ito discuss your specific requests and our availability.
