Learning Navigators are mentors to individuals pursuing a variety of personal development and professional goals. Examples include: helping with career changes, moving overseas, and gaining professional qualifications.
We use self-directed learning as a key concept in our mentoring approach, plus a range of strategies to enhance insight and clarity into issues, and enable individuals to make successful transformations in their working styles.
We coach individuals across a range of organisations and topics cover career development and career change, potential outsourcing and re-deployment, being successful during times of big change, getting ready for retirement, dealing with low self-esteem and confidence, resolving conflicts and dealing with poor performance.
We work with a range of styles and interventions but always encouraging the individual to take personal responsibility for decisions and changes. To keep our practice at the cutting edge, we employ a Coaching Supervisor to deepen our coaching presence – our supervisor is Edna Murdoch from the Coaching Supervision Academy.
Learning Navigators help organisations to establish and sustain effective mentoring processes by bringing best practice and fresh ideas to implement. We have also trained hundreds of potential mentors in their role, responsibilities and the skills needed to be effective. We also run briefing sessions for mentees, so they know what to expect and what their contribution will be.
Some recent examples of our work within organisations include supporting graduates with personal and professional development mentoring, and enabling talented people to undertake a structured programme of development to rise to more senior international positions.
Within organisations, we train coaches in effective coaching skills, techniques and models, often using actors to bring realism to unique coaching scenarios.
