****COACHING: **this seeks to deliver specific, detailed and measurable performance gains to emplyees.
Our global team of Sandstone coaches all have vast corporate and/or practical leadership experience.
We match a coach from our pool to a client’s experiences and needs, so that the coach can properly understand the client’s issues and be in a position to make appropriate inputs where required.
MENTORING: many blue chip organisations invest in their high potential staff by assigning an external mentor to help them navigate their way through the complexities of their developing career.
Unlike coaching, which help employees address specific short-term issues, mentoring supplies longer term career development support and advice, drawing on the broad business experience of the mentors.
Sandstone mentors will work with executives at any level in an organisation.
Our mentors are all Sandstone principals with significant business experience.
