![]() ![]() While Stella is trying to keep the sun up to keep playing (which is something to think about), there's a long-distance friendship at play. Each spread carries the needed details to let Stella's world open up and switches seamlessly between the reality and fantasy. ![]() The hippo on her side is super cute and adds to the fantasy and fun-a talking hippo in sunglasses is definitely a treat. The illustrations are bright and let Stella's personality glow. This positivity stays all the way to the end thanks to an interesting and sweet twist. She just jumps right into the next attempt. When something doesn't seem to work out the way she hopes, there's no pouting or time for negative thoughts. I was glad to see that this doesn't change the entire book through, either. Stella is so full of energy and excitement that it's hard not to smile. It's not an easy task, but Stella is ready to take on the challenge.and that without her parents knowing what she's up to. ![]() The only way to end this nonsense is to stop the sun from setting. Stella loves to do all sorts of activities, and she's not a fan of bedtime, since she has to sleep all night with nothing to do. Determination, clever ideas, and a trusty friend at the side are all this girl needs to take on the sun and convince it to stay. ![]()

By contrast, classical mentoring is a process of ‘show and tell’ but still concerned with current issues and future aspirations. ![]() A facilitative process means that the coach does not provide answers and solutions, but stimulates the coachee to find new and motivated thinking to meet their goals. Coaching & Mentoring Coaching is a facilitative process, stimulating and challenging a coachee to new perceptions about their current issues (and goals) with a clear target in focus. So let’s begin with what have now evolved as definitions of coaching and mentoring and how both disciplines are now applied at the top level. It will ask you to reassess the way you make changes and teach you to look at work in a radically new way. There is still a lot of confusion in the organisations about what coaching and mentoring are with the words used interchangeably. The Inner Game of Work challenges you to reexamine your fundamental motivations for going to work in the morning and your definitions of work once you're there. Performance coaching and mentoring are both gaining wider appeal with more companies starting to develop these skills in their staff by seeking training programmes and procuring external provision of these services. ![]() |
