Content Quality

Rating:

Strengths:

Very clear description, diagrams, and assignments. Excellent examples and explanations of what is coaching and what is mentoring. Thought provoking questions:

"• Should coaching and mentoring focus on:– Content (what needs to be done)?• or– Process (how it should be done)?• or– Rationale (why it is to be done)?"

Concerns:

It is recommended that the author add more references to the presentation; perhaps links to blogs will also help. This is a nice self contained module, however, having more scenarios and examples would enhance it's usefulness.
