Personal coaching and mentoring is an increasingly valuable asset and opportunity for executives in senior business positions. At JSDC we use a flexible coaching model to ensure unique individual profiles and requirements are catered for in our mentoring approach. Many organizations now look to provide personal growth and development opportunities for their identified up and coming talent as a strategy to retain, nurture and build loyalty and opportunity for these individuals. In some instances coaching or personal mentoring has become a strategically vital element in the skill building activities of organizations on the cusp of their industry. Whatever your reason may be, personal effectiveness is substantially enhanced when key individuals are allowed room to grow in a relationship that seeks constantly to create a new competitive advantage through the premise of “speed to truth”. Speed to truth in individual strengths and weaknesses, speed to truth in growth and development requirements and speed to truth in feedback – both of the soft and sometimes tougher type.
