It was fun to design and conduct this 4 hour session along with my colleagues from the Association of Mumbai Coaches, Saira Kale and Ambuj Jain on coaching and Mentoring Skills for the faculty at Mumbai Educational Trust, MET League of Colleges.
Due to the short time we were given, we partly facilitated the session and ensured it was interactive. We used Fishbowl role plays, group discussions, a listening skills activity along with carefully prepared slides and a video.
We were willingly aided by the participants who enthusiastically joined in for each activity, and also with their questions. We'd love to do this again.

My thoughts - The C-suite has to work as a well-oiled team, simply because no one person has all the answers. The need to hire people with #complimentingstrengths is stronger now than ever before. So there must also be focus on building this team of complementing talents through strengths based hiring.
Superb article on #stayinterviews
In my experience, the stay interview proved very effective in understanding what is going on within various functions of the organization, and getting suggestions for improvement. It's great for reducing grievances and at times, #resignations , because the employee feels heard.
