Training, Development, Coaching

The Leadership and Management Development team runs courses and programmes to support you with the skills you need for your role, and for your career development.

There are specific opportunities for Research Active Staff including project management, and research impact.

Coaching and Mentoring (Warwick.ac.uk) Coaching is a powerful development tool which helps to develop a person’s skills and awareness so that their performance at work improves. Coaching takes place typically over 4-6 months and is carried out by a qualified coach. Opportunities to work with an internal or external coach are available. Mentoring involves a more experienced person drawing on their skills, expertise and wisdom to advise and guide a less experienced person to support their personal and professional development. Typically mentoring takes place over a longer period of time than coaching. WMS runs a mentoring scheme for academic colleagues. Mentoring at WMS (warwick.ac.uk)
