Assignment Task:

Your Task 

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.“ – Attributed to Confucius, around 500BC 

This subject requires you to thoughtfully develop your abilities in coaching and mentoring, and in weeks 8, 9,10 and 12 we will explore the styles and techniques involved in doing this. These skills will serve you well in many facets of your life. To assist with developing your skills, you will be interacting with your fellow students or others to sharpen your abilities, allow you to observe others and receive assistance so you can learn to work meaningfully with others in the future. 

The purpose of this assessment is for you to demonstrate and develop your knowledge and skill in mentoring and coaching as an important people development technique within organisations. 

Assessment Description 

In weeks 8-10, you will be presented with a scenario and will have the opportunity to take the role of a mentor, coach, observer or employee through in-class or online discussion/ role plays. In week 12, you will be exposed to content to do with the role of coaching in organisations. 

To strengthen your understanding of these experiences, you will be required to write a reflection of the experience of your role as mentor, coach, observer or employee of around 650 words. Over each week you will be able to use your experience to assemble three of these reflections as you engage in the week’s exercises, bringing your work to a total for this task of 2000 words. 

In writing up your experience of these coaching and mentoring experiences you should reflect on: 

• What happened in the interaction, including what aspects went well and what needed improvement, 

• How relevant theoretical reading or research you have done applies to the situation, 

• What you learned or gained from the experience, and 

• Practical actions you could take to improve your approach in the future based on your reading, reflection, experience and observation.
