The Mentor Shift: Coaching Others to Utilize Mentoring as a Robust Development Tool

Does it sometimes seem like your clients and business partners send their people to trainings as the catch-all solution for talent development needs? Would you like to become an expert in coaching leaders to utilize other tools to evaluate developmental success?

What do we do during our times together? How do I gracefully exit the relationship? and finally, How do I turn around and keep the mentoring ball rolling with someone new?
