Mentoring/coaching skills Coaching is the interactive process that involves communication between one person called a coach, and another person(s) called a coachee, with an aim of developing more effective individuals or organizations. Coaching is not a new phenomenon at the work places. A good example of how coaching takes place at the work place can be that of a restaurant where a chef who understands some recipes takes time to take the workers through the process of preparing a special meal that they may have a problem in preparing with an aim of helping them perfect their skills.

An example of how these skills are used at the work place can be that of setting remuneration for workers whereby the employer may be pursuing a policy of paying the least possible amount while the potential employee wants to be paid the highest possible amount.

In social, life negotiation skills help one to solve conflicts among peers.
