Introduction to Mentoring

Activity in Groups/ Pairs List what you would like to gain from the mentoring course List any concerns or worries you may have regarding mentoring

What is Mentoring? Create a definition of mentoring

Eric Parsloe, The Oxford School of Coaching & Mentoring Mentoring is "Mentoring is to support and encourage people to manage their own learning in order that they may maximise their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be."  Eric Parsloe, The Oxford School of Coaching & Mentoring

What is the difference? Mentor Coach Mentors are generally experts in their field. Mentors are typically more experienced than their mentees. Mentors give direct feedback and advice. They will give an explanation of when they did something similar to the mentee and share their experience to help them to develop their skills . A coach is forward looking and is not overly concerned with the past .The coach is not seen as an expert in the subject field but is able to act as a sounding board/mirror for the individual to get clarity on a variety of issues with a view to moving forward.

Our Mentors Think of a previous mentor you may have had (at school , work , or family) Who were they? What did you learn from them? What do you remember about them most?

What are the benefits of mentoring?

Skills and Attributes of a Mentor what not to do when mentoring

Mentoring Steps Preparation Building Rapport Contracting Goal Setting Listening Questioning Story telling Challenging Decision making Giving and receiving feedback

Preparing for Mentoring What do you want to gain? What do you have to offer ( skills, experience, knowledge) How frequently will you meet? Will the contact be face to face or by a mix of methods? How long will the partnership last? What do you mean by confidentiality? How will you plan and record your mentoring support?

Build Rapport Family Interests Education Past work Difficulties Dreams/aspirations

Your Mentee - Where are they now ? What would they like to achieve? Why do they want to do it? What do they want to improve on? What can they influence? What are they prepared to change? What would be the benefit for them? What are their barriers?
