Mentoring Development Group - Coaching and Mentoring Conference
/---------------------------------------------------------------
Interest in coaching and mentoring is a rapidly growing
phenomenon, accompanied by an explosion in the range and types
of coaching and mentoring available. Is this valuable diversity,
or just befuddling complexity? A conference in April will offer
practical advice on effectively managing this complexity at a
personal and organisational level.

Trainer's Tip
===============
"Different (learning) delivery methods have different retention
rates. The model most quoted says: 20% of what we read, 30% of
what we hear, 40% of what we see, 50% of what we say, 60% of
what we do, and 90% of what we see, hear, say and do! The
highest (retention) comes from a combination of methods (hear,
read, watched it happen) but by far the most effective is by
getting the trainee to teach to others what they have just
learnt." Read more of this tip of the week from Carol Long:
