Become a better manager with coaching and mentoring skills
(Booking details below)
Your working day is stretched to its limits as you carry out the tasks required of you in your role, as well as managing anywhere from a couple of people to a much larger team. There are a number of different ways of managing people, but this workshop focuses on coaching and mentoring skills and instances where these are most helpful.
This interactive session addresses the softer skills that will help you become the most effective manager you possibly can be by incorporating coaching and mentoring skills into your management style. Coaches and mentors support their clients to effect growth and change whether in skills, knowledge, attitude or behaviour and as managers using some of their skills, you can do the same.

Terms & Conditions
Do you accept attendees who have a bursary?
Yes. Bursaries are available via various companies such as Screenskills.
Attendees must pay for a ticket first either via Ticket Tailor or Invoice and will then claim for the cost via the company providing the bursary. I’m afraid I cannot accept payment from individuals after the course/event has taken place.
Will you send me a VAT receipt?
If paying via Ticket Tailor, you will receive a confirmation email detailing the costs. If you require a more detailed receipt please contact me via contact@mediacareeradvice.co.uk and I can send you a receipt on company headed paper.
However do note that I am not currently VAT registered, so I’m afraid VAT can’t be claimed back on the ticket price via your personal tax return.
My company needs to pay via invoice
No problem. Drop me a message via contact@mediacareeradvice.co.uk and I can prepare an invoice for you and book you a place on the course. You will need to send me your company name and address for the invoice.
Payment via invoice to be made no later than 30 days from date of the invoice.
I don’t want to appear on camera
Personally I feel it benefits other course participants and myself as a tutor if you are able to appear on camera. However if you’d prefer not to that’s fine, it isn’t a course requirement to have your camera on at all times.
If you need to cancel
There will be times when you may book onto courses/events and subsequently find that you are unable to attend. In these situations I ask that you notify me of your need to cancel as soon as possible.
Your booking can be transferred across to the next available course date. Please note - I will only be able to offer a transfer across to two subsequent course dates (which allows more leeway if you are unable to attend the next course date). I will not be able to transfer your booking if you are unable to attend the next two course iterations and a refund will not be issued.
Alternatively a refund will be issued to attendees who cancel at least 1 week prior to the course/event. If you have booked via Ticket Tailor there is a non-refundable fee calculated at Stripe's 1.5% local charges/ 1.95% Premium card charges / 3.25% International charges of the ticket cost + £0.80 GBP per ticket. Attendees who cancel within the 1 week period will not be eligible for a refund.
What happens if Media Career Advice cancels?
There may be times when I need to cancel a course/talk. In the first instance we will re-book attendees onto the next available course. However if this isn’t possible we will provide a full refund to all trainees booked onto those courses/events.
What happens if I lose connection?
You will need an internet connection that supports video conferencing and a device that has a camera and a microphone.
In the event of a lost connection email contact@mediacareeradvice.co.uk to discuss options to catch up on the sessions missed.
