Coaching

Coaching is a one-on-one process that helps individuals consider their options regarding various workplace situations. It is confidential and voluntary, involving up to four meetings over 4-6 months, and organised independently through the Imperial Coaching Academy.

Mentoring

Mentoring, like coaching, is a development activity available to all staff. Both are supportive and non-judgmental and rely on a set of similar interpersonal skills.

Internal Work Shadowing is an excellent opportunity to develop your existing skills, learn better practice, share ideas, discover how you can progress in your career, and connect with the wider Imperial community. It is beneficial to both the host and the ‘shadower’.
