Pre-Conference Workshop: Building Trust Through Coaching & Mentoring* Saturday, October 20, 2018 12:30 pm- 5:00 pm Leaders become more effective coaches when they understand and actively engage in practices that build trust. This course provides methods and techniques for building and maintaining trusting relationships through coaching and mentoring. This course will define both coaching and mentoring. It also teaches the leader how to increase their credibility and improve interpersonal interactions with team members so that they are inspired to play to their strengths and develop those areas where additional focus is needed. This requires that the leader challenge, support and assess each team member on an ongoing basis and provide feedback in a skillful manner. This course ultimately supports the learner in developing a successful coach s toolkit.
