Confidence Building Coach
When someone asks, “What do you think I should do?”, giving advice can feel like the obvious response. But sometimes what they really need is the space and confidence to work it out for themselves.
The Confidence-Building Coach seeks to understand before advising – listening, asking questions with genuine curiosity and creating space for someone to think.
And if coaching doesn’t come naturally? It’s a skill that can be learned.
Part of our 8 Mentoring Hats series, exploring the different roles great mentors play.
The Mentoring Series
Sometimes the kindest conversations are the ones everyone else is avoiding. Meet the Challenging Supporter, one of the eight hats great mentors wear.
Some of the most powerful mentoring happens outside the room. Meet the Well-Connected Sponsor, one of the eight hats great mentors wear.
Great mentors don’t have one favourite mentoring style. They listen, notice what’s needed and choose the right ‘hat’ for the conversation.
Great mentors don’t rely on one approach. Using the idea of different ‘hats’, we explore why effective mentoring means recognising what someone needs in the moment and adapting how you show up.
We listen. We understand. We are confident that we can create a bespoke solution
that really adds to your bottom line.
