You are asked to write an essay analysing and evaluating a mentoring or coaching challenge. This may be: i) a real example that you have faced as a mentor/coach or as a mentee/coachee in an organisational setting; ii) a hypothetical example (e.g. from your role play exercise); or iii) a mentoring or coaching case study sourced from a suitable academic or practitioner publication (which you must reference). You will need to provide a description of the development challenge encountered and the nature of the mentor/coach and mentee/coachee roles. Based on the theoretical and practical knowledge you have gained about mentoring and coaching, then reflect critically on the how mentoring or coaching was applied in the described development scenario, including an evaluation of the effectiveness and appropriateness of the process. Finally, you should include an assessment of your own future development needs as a management graduate and the extent to which these might be effectively met through mentoring and/or coaching.
