Setting up a mentoring scheme, develop mentoring skills
This practical and participative programme looks at what good mentoring (when someone off-line supports the development of another) is all about.
We explore what to look for in potential mentors and consider what is needed for a successful relationship. We look at setting up a mentoring scheme, the key features for its success and problems to avoid. Using participants own work issues we practise mentoring skills “live”.
By the end of the programme participants will be able to:
- Define Mentoring
- Identify the differences between Mentoring, Coaching and Training
- Understand the Mentoring Process – Facilitation
- Determine who makes the Best Mentor – and why
- Identify the Suitability of the Learner for Mentoring
- Acknowledge the Benefits and Limitations of Mentoring
- Understand how by developing mentoring skills they develop themselves as managers too – by adopting a more “hands-off” empowering style
