8 - Coaching & Mentoring
Too many managers, both young and the more experienced, often say they don’t have the time for coaching. What they can often mean is, they don’t have the skills to coach. As we move to more remote working and also more empathetic human resource goals, coaching and mentoring are now “must have” skills for all managers and senior staff. Expert in coaching and mentoring, and Oakwood International's CEO, Dennis O'Donnell is here to speak to host Saima about why coaching is very important, and how it can be learned.
That's it for this first season! We have had great fun creating these episodes, and we are currently planning a second season which will launch in early to mid 2022. Stay tuned and connect with us at www.oakwooddubai.ae
