What our customers say

During the early days of HRD Gateway, a 40,000-member international NGO dedicated to excellence in HRD/HRM, I got to know Oak Innovation and their courseware. I become one of his early customers. I had clients in Asia who wanted training in certain areas. Instead of searching through the net for material, I logged onto his site, found what I wanted, bought his programs, and customized them to suit my client’s requirements. The process saved me a lot of time. Later, I bought the Oak full set of courses. Over the years, I saw Oak grow from a small operation to what it is today. That takes dedication and focus. Because they allowed me to download updates and new versions of the courseware, I found I did not have to go to another provider for my raw material.

Time is money — we all know that. And as coaches, our billable time is worth a lot of money, but program development time is not. For a once-off cost per training pack, you’ve saved coaches countless hours of program development time. Plus, because of the high-quality of your materials, you make us look good! What you are offering for coaches is remarkable. Thank you! Thanks also for letting us customize the programs with our logos, taglines, etc. Your spirit of generosity is much appreciated. Well done. You’ve put a lot of work into this, and I am thrilled to see the result. All the Best.

To help you get the most value, we want to share some tips on delivering this training content.

The first tip is that many people are cautious about coaching and mentoring. People just worry about people seeing them for who they are. This is normal and expected. Here’s the great news – almost regardless of the course setting, you can use this content to train your audience about coaching and mentoring within companies. And, your audience will learn the steps that are required for these efforts to be successful.

Once you have your message dialed in, you should start by integrating your own practical experiences within this customizable content. From these experiences, you’ll be able to share insights that other courses just won’t offer.

Course outline

In an effort to provide you with as much value as possible, we’re going to show you to deliver the content as your own.

Coaching – Over the last few years, there has been considerable debate on the value of coaching and mentoring programs within organizations. In particular, whether to source these skills from the outside or to develop them within the company.

Although any answer or solution will be very much dependent on the organization in question, use this course content to focus on practical ways by which coaching and mentoring can be employed effectively to benefit the achievement of organizational objectives. Helping your audience to recognize what coaching is, is the first step. Without building this awareness, your audience’s understanding of the primary characteristics of coaches won’t ever be complete.

In the global backdrop of creating organizational efficiencies, you can also use the content to demonstrate that by developing programs from internal resources that will ensure that they are cost-sensitive in their delivery. The course starts by exploring what is coaching. Next, use the content to examine the primary characteristics of coaches. Your audience will learn that excellent coaches get the balance right and apply themselves in a fashion that, to outside observers, would seem to be seamless and deliberate. Use the content to help your audience understand that this skill often comes from an innate talent and well-trained background.

The type of coaching chosen (e.g., executive, performance, skills, and personal or life coaching) is dependent upon the context in which the coaching will take place and the form of influence (Directive and Non-Directive) that the coach is adopting. Use the content provided to explore the trade-off between the work completed by the coach and the coachee. Also, use the material to examine the push or pull styles of coaching on offer. Be sure to take your time as you use the content to share six ways to start coaching and the GROW Model for coaching.

During this critical section, we suggest that you share your perspectives on coaching within companies and various settings. Your experiences and reflections will make the content more meaningful to your audience. And, to put it simply, this form of storytelling will help your audience to get the maximum benefit from the material presented.

Mentoring – When you’ve spent your entire life working or thinking a certain way, you start to reassure yourself that that’s the way it is. You tell yourself that this is how I do things, and perhaps that if others could see you, they would recognize your talents or failings. Then, someone suggests that you should be a mentor or indeed that you would benefit from having a mentor. Somewhat unnerving. Well, that’s more than likely how your audience may feel about mentoring initiatives.

On a practical level, use the content provided to explore the world of mentoring and understand the use of mentoring within all organizations. And, by exploring the two primary forms of mentoring – Informal and Formal Mentoring.

Help your audience to understand that as the names suggest, the type of mentoring approach applied owes much to their characteristics and the ways that they are delivered. We have included a handout that you can also provide to your course participants (see below for a list of bonus handouts provided with this course).

Let’s explore the two types of mentors that operate within organizations. This discussion will give you a sense of how you can discuss these mentoring roles with your audience.

The Role Model in an organization tends to be a senior individual who has “been there, seen it, and has done that.” They can pass on the benefit of their experience of what works. And, the mentor can share what doesn’t work for the organization across different situations. They are good listeners developed over an extended service. As role models, these mentors tend to be very well connected and able to introduce the person to new sources of information, skills, and resources, both inside and outside their organization.

Next, you can use the content to discuss the role of facilitative mentors that operate at a more focused level than that of a role model with a company. To illustrate, they assist the mentee in exploring their concerns, bolstering their self-awareness, and developing positive strategies to interact with key stakeholders within the organization. The facilitative mentor also helps to reinforce and build the mentee’s confidence through greater self-awareness and understanding.

You can then use the content to explore the relevant characteristics and how to plan a program. The course ends by discussing obstacles, documentation, and the different types of models that exist.

A great way to connect with your audience during this section is to incorporate some group discussion and, if possible industry-specific examples. This form of shared storytelling is essential.

Use the content to also share five simple mentoring models that your audience can choose to employ. These are:

• One-on-one
• Resource-based
• Training based
• Mentoring circles
• Combinations of the above

Sharing mentoring success stories with your audience also magnifies their learning. Encourage them to ask the right questions of coaching and mentoring initiatives and make sure that they understand the answers.

Bonus course material available at no extra charge
