  • Be inspired by sharing best practice related to coaching and mentoring

Summary

This EEUK Enterprise Exchange event was held as an interactive Zoom webinar providing an overview of coaching and mentoring programmes at Imperial and other UK Universities.

During the first session of the day Imperial staff shared how coaching complements entrepreneurship teaching within the curriculum at the postgraduate level in the Business School. The findings of an Imperial College Learning and Teaching Strategy funded research project to transform pedagogy for coaching were presented.

The second session was a university panel exchange session where 4 universities shared specific programmes they are working on. Each presentation was 5 minutes followed by 10 minutes Q&A. The programmes were: King’s (the innovative coaching model which has been embedded into the King’s20 Accelerator Programme), LSE (the LSE Accelerators approach to coaching entrepreneurs), Imperial (Imperial’s student-led mentoring initiative MBA Connect) and UWE (Team Academy framework for enterprise and entrepreneurship education).

After lunch the Imperial Venture Mentoring Service (IVMS) was explored. Staff and external specialists explained how IVMS provides co-curricular support for students in the Enterprise Lab. They covered how to set up and structure a professionally regulated network. This session showcased a fireside chat with IVMS mentors and student mentee teams. This expanded on what was discussed at one of the best in track sessions at IEEC2019.

The final session of the day enabled delegates to ‘Design your own’. Building on ideas and inspiration from the day, participants had the opportunity to discuss in webinar breakout rooms how to design their own coaching or mentoring programmes.
