Mentoring with a Coaching Attitude explores the intersection of mentoring and coaching to offer a new toolbox that team leaders, consultants, and coaches can use in their own practice. Drawing on the long history of mentoring across the world, the experienced contributors highlight the foundations of mentoring within the importance of relationships and the transmission of knowledge between humans for success.

The book's three-part structure builds on the idea of mentoring with a coaching attitude and successful mentoring programs in organizations. A range of international case studies are intertwined with the history and philosophy of mentoring throughout. Including work from Belgium, France, Morocco, China, the UK, the Middle East, Brazil, and Poland, and in a diversity of organizations from NGOs like Médecins sans Frontières to universities and multinational companies.

The case studies clearly outline how the core potential of a client or mentee can be harnessed with:

• Active listening
• Impactful questioning
• Creating awareness and leading to experimentation and action

The book is ideal for leaders and business owners who would like to organize mentoring programs that work and be confident that knowledge and experience are being shared between senior leaders.
