The ‘How to… Coaching and Mentoring’ series of webinars are aimed at all members of staff who would like place development at the heart of the conversations they have with their peers and team members. All you will need is a quiet space where you’re unlikely to be interrupted and access to a laptop or PC with sound. Booking is essential and can be done on our Course Booking system.
Please note that the current webinars advertised from April to June 2019 form part of the Leadership Series and are aimed at our leaders and managers across the group. Further webinar dates for all staff will be advertised shortly.
