Helping other people to develop is a key skill for most successful people. By helping your colleagues improve, you improve the performance of your team and organisation. A mentor draws on their own personal experience and successful behaviours to help their mentee to improve their performance.
Some people find that mentoring others is a skill that comes naturally. Many others find it really helpful to develop a more methodical approach to mentoring. Our participants tell us that the opportunity to reflect on their own practice and approach as a mentor is particularly valuable. This often results in an increased awareness of, and confidence in, the skills they employ as a mentor.
These workshops offer a range of approaches and understanding to help mentors become more effective when they support a more junior colleague.
Topics that may be included in our Mentoring Skills courses:
- What is mentoring?
- Distinguishing mentoring from coaching
- Who should be a mentor?
- The Emotionally Intelligent mentor
- Understanding the impact of the Learning Cycle
- Why Transactional Analysis matters to a mentor
- Giving clear and constructive feedback
- Managing the mentoring relationship
- Creating a Personal Development Plan
