Personal Mentorship
The essential foundation
Personal mentoring is the bedrock of Distinction Coaching’s relationship with clients. Families repose trust in our expert and mature judgement to aid their child’s progress and development.
What?
We stimulate personal growth. Our starting point is to foster disciplined and organised thinking skills in clients. As they advance, we introduce critical reasoning and problem solving to them. From developing their thoughts, we develop their expression by focusing on improving their communication and persuasive skills. We find that our clients benefit greatly from confidence coaching and guidance on managing relationships. Increasingly, we are asked to assist clients struggling with social media and the virtual world.
Creating self-efficacy
Our overarching intention in Personal Mentoring is to inspire and foster a self-determination (‘can do’) mindset. We think this is the essence of what makes young people able to creatively solve their own problems and confidently face new challenges.
We're here for you
We know that we occupy a privileged position – families take us into their confidence, requesting our mature and experienced judgment. This has found us parachuted into flashpoints at times, where we have effectively de-escalated tensions. While we’re accessible, we are also bound by the highest standards of professional ethics. Warmth and trust in our relations with families are essential ingredients to unlocking their child’s excellence.
