This seminar explores how to use these important tools to help others develop both technically and as leaders in order to improve their organization's overall performance.

Through classroom instruction, small-group interaction and practice sessions, this seminar will teach you how to coach and mentor employees who are facing choices regarding career advancement, or need guidance in mastering their current positions through professional development.
