Mentoring
“Mentoring is to support and encourage people to manage their own learning in order that they may maximise their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be.”
- Eric Parsloe, The Oxford School of Coaching & Mentoring
Grove Consultants offer as part of their consultancy arm a mentoring programme, helping individuals achieve their potential within your organisation.
Mentoring is a powerful personal development and empowerment tool. It is an effective way of helping people to progress in their careers and is becoming increasing popular as its potential is realised. It is a partnership between two people (mentor and mentee) normally working in a similar field or sharing similar experiences. It is a helpful relationship based upon mutual trust and respect. Grove Consultants have found that mentoring individuals to be one of the most effective ways to achieve the full potential of the individuals.
Examples of mentoring include:
- Mentoring test managers for effective leadership
- Mentoring testers in test design and execution in the production and running of quality tests
- Mentoring Scrum masters as they adapt to an agile lifecycle
- Mentoring test automators, tool champions and testware architects in the most effective way to implement and use automation tools
