Understanding the principles and practice of effective coaching and mentoring at an executive or senior level.
This assignment asks you to demonstrate your understanding of the context in which effective coaching or mentoring operates.

You are required to demonstrate practical application of coaching or mentoring in practice within an organisational, managerial or professional role.
You should complete an extended learning log over a period of at least 60 hours coaching or mentoring contact time with a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 9 clients, which should contain a record of:
- The goals agreed with the client(s) and a brief plan of each coaching session, and an auditable record summary of the coaching activity;
- Feedback from the client/organisation relating to the achievement of the goals for the session;
- Your reflections on your performance, what you have learnt from it and how you will use that learning to refine your personal development goals and future practice.
– Assignment 3
Reflecting on your ability to perform effectively as a coach or mentor at an executive or senior level
This takes the form of a reflective review requiring you to complete in-depth and evidenced reflection and assessment of yourself in relation to the requirements and challenges of the coaching and mentoring role.
