 Unit Overview

In order to help you advance in your HR career, the CIPD level 3 certification is designed to provide you with a solid foundation of knowledge and skills. You'll need to know a lot about coaching and mentoring if you're going to be responsible for developing your company's human resources.

You'll be expected to take the position of an HR manager, facilitating and instilling a culture of "coaching and mentoring" as part of the 3LCM exam. A presentation on the fundamentals of coaching and mentoring will be necessary for your HR team. This guideline will help you better understand what to include in each slide.

Your presentation should demonstrate a thorough understanding of coaching and mentoring topics, and it should also be easy to follow.

The Big Picture

Some people in the corporate world use the terms "coaching" and "mentoring" interchangeably. Despite certain similarities, the meaning of the two expressions is quite different. Personal growth and professional skills can be taught through coaching, either on a one-on-one basis or in a group setting. Another option is a long-term relationship between mentor and mentee in which the mentor provides guidance in both personal and professional matters.

The two ideas are comparable in that they both aim to enhance one's abilities and skills, whether in the context of one's work or in other areas of one's life. However, the method of delivery differs. In order to pass the 3LCM test, you must complete Activities 1 and 2 (also known as Activity 1 and Activity 2).

The First Task

You are expected to give a presentation on coaching and mentoring as part of activity one. Coaching and mentoring are two distinct concepts, and it's important to know the difference between them, as well as how it might benefit you.

If you're preparing a presentation about coaching and mentoring, you'll also need to think about how you'll distribute your content throughout the various slides. All of these components must be appropriately addressed in the first activity and exhibit knowledge of the fundamental notion of coaching and mentoring.

Concepts of coaching and mentoring

In order for your audience to grasp the key differences between coaching and mentoring, it is imperative that you design your presentation in this manner. Process delivery, execution time, and the intended outcome are all areas where there are significant disparities to be found.

Coaching is a more specialised form of training that aims to boost employee morale and help them meet their professional objectives. Mentoring, on the other hand, aids in the development of a person's abilities and their general well-being. To guarantee that performance metrics are satisfied, coaching may require a few sessions. Even though mentoring is a long-term process, it can take a lot longer depending on the common acquaintances between the two people involved.

Coaching and Mentoring can have a positive impact on your career.

Coaching and mentoring provide a number of advantages. When discussing the benefits, it's important to make clear that these merits can be earned by the organisation, its employees, and other stakeholders.

With the help of a mentor, employees have the opportunity to define SMART goals and work together to accomplish the company's goals. Mentoring and coaching can assist strengthen the ties among the many groups and individuals who make up an organisation. It gives employees a chance to speak openly with their boss about personal matters.

Mentoring and coaching can take many forms.

Depending on who you're trying to reach, you may have to differentiate between different kinds of coaching and mentoring. Executive coaching, leadership coaching, career coaching, and/or business coaching are all examples of types of coaching that can be used. The manner of coaching differs depending on the target audience, the goal, and the facilitator.

Mentoring can take many forms, including induction, peer, and developmental. New workers are mentored during their induction period to help them adapt to the company's procedures. Senior managers are used to support peer mentoring, whereas developmental mentoring is used to help workers rise through the ranks.

One-on-one Coaching: The Stages of a Process

Stages of coaching are accelerated until the desired result is achieved. The four primary steps of the coaching process must be documented in your 3LCM presentation.

Coach and client sign a contract outlining the terms and conditions of the coaching relationship.

Planning: the coach decides how many sessions/periods of the procedure to run.

This is the real coaching process, which includes the use of the essential coaching instruments.

When the provisions of the contract are met, the procedure comes to an end and is called an exit.

The coach is responsible for creating a strong relationship with the coachee and understanding the coachee's strengths and flaws.

3LCM has a number of other problems.

Additionally, you should go over the four phases of mentoring: introduction, action planning, continuous mentoring, and exit. Successful mentoring takes enough forethought and foresight.

Your presentation will include an explanation of the mentors' responsibilities. As a mentor, your primary responsibility is to help your students get the necessary expertise. Enhancing one's personal and professional development necessitates having these abilities.

In addition, you must discuss the two coaching and mentoring models and methodologies. There are two general models to consider here:

An example of the GROW framework (Goal, Reality, Options, and Will)

Model OSCAR (Open Source Corvette Architecture) (outcome, situation, Choices, Situations, Review)

Additionally, it is crucial to document all of the coaching and mentoring actions that take place over the course of the programme. A recording template should be used in coaching and mentoring sessions. One should follow the OSCAR model when recording in order to get a clear picture of the outcome, the situation, the choices and repercussions, and the actions.
