Download or read book Coaching and Mentoring written by Eric Parsloe and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaching and mentoring have developed significantly in recent years. Helping and supporting people to learn more effectively are not new activities, of course, but what is new is the extent to which their power is being harnessed to meet the challenge of our ever-increasing need to take personal responsibility for managing to learn new things in new ways.The authors of this vital new book on the topic believe that we are in the middle of a revolution of thinking about learning. Clearly demonstrating how recent research suggests that traditional methods need to be adjusted or, in some cases, abandoned in favour of the effective use of coaching and mentoring, this book provides a practical toolkit for such change.Covering both the theory and practice of coaching and mentoring, ranging from the world of work to education to community action, the book demonstrates how important it is to relate theoretical models to specific situations in order to gain real practical benefits. In a highly readable and accessible style, the authors offer new insights into, and examples of, such issues as matching staff, and fresh ways of giving feedback and asking the right questions. While they provide both best-practice approaches and proven solutions, they also explain that where coaching and mentoring are concerned, simplicity is often the ideal solution. To facilitate this goal they outline 'Seven Golden Rules of Simplicity'.This practical introduction to an increasingly widely used practice will prove invaluable to anyone wanting to help people to increase and improve their ability to maximize their potential, learn new skills, improve performance and become the person they want to be.

Download or read book Mentoring and Diversity written by Thomas Landefeld and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentoring has always been an important factor in life and particularly in academia. In fact, making choices about educational pursuits and subsequent careers without input from mentors can prove disastrous. Fortunately, many individuals have “na- ral” mentors and for them these choices are greatly facilitated. Others are not pri- leged with natural mentors and as such often struggle with making these tough choices. Many times these individuals are from under served and disadvantaged backgrounds, where mentors are too few and far between. For them, deciding on which career path to take can be based not only on insufficient information but oft times on inaccurate information. Although the tips in this monograph are designed for helping all individuals who are interested in pursuing the study of science and science careers, a special mentoring focus is on those students who have not expe- enced the advantages of the privileged class. Additionally, tips are included for those who are interested in effectively mentoring these individuals. How and why a person gets to that point of wanting to mentor is not as important as the fact that they have made that commitment and this monograph will help them do exactly that. When I received my PhD in Reproductive Endocrinology from the University of Wisconsin, I was ready and anxious to discover all kinds of new and exciting aspects about this field of science.
Download or read book Philosophical Mentoring in Qualitative Research written by Kelly W. Guyotte and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from advanced, early career, and emerging qualitative scholars, Philosophical Mentoring in Qualitative Research illuminates how qualitative research mentoring practices, relationships, and possibilities of inquiry and teaching come to life under different mentoring philosophies. What we can know in and about the world is inseparable from our approach(es) to knowing with and in it. And how we mentor in qualitative research matters to what we can know and do as qualitative inquirers. Yet, despite its importance, mentoring is rarely conceptualized as a practice inspiring or inspired by philosophy. This edited book opens a needed space for thinking about mentoring as a philosophical practice. Its thoughtful chapters and artful "mentoring moments" draw on critical, feminist, new materialist, post-structuralist, and other philosophies to make visible, interrupt, reflect, deepen, and expand mentoring practices within the qualitative community revealing what we can know, do, and become through them. Philosophical Mentoring in Qualitative Research sensitizes readers to mentoring as a philosophical practice. As such, it is essential reading for students and researchers in qualitative research and higher education interested in mentoring practice and humanistic research values.
