Skills Needed For Effective Coaching and MentoringBuilding Relationships- Relationships that provide backbone to a good coaching/mentoring relationship are built on trust and mutual cooperation.Positive and Empowering Attitudes - Wanting the mentee to succeed requires a generous and positive spirit. Success depends on this attitude being present.
