Organizations spend thousands of dollars to train their managers and leaders. Yet when it comes to mentors, organizations sometimes assume that strong mentoring skills come naturally. It is often assumed that great mentors are born, not made.
Whether someone has mentored for years, or is a new mentor, Menttium’s Mentor Readiness Training is designed to make good mentors great. In just three hours, Menttium provides mentors with the tools, resources and training they need to propel their mentoring relationships forward. Menttium uses a combination of group discussion and active learning to teach mentoring skills. By learning how to structure their mentoring relationship, mentors gain the confidence and skills to guide their mentee’s development, whether they are meeting face to face or virtually.
Menttium’s skilled consultants walk the mentors through a four part agenda that focuses on defining the mentor’s role, understanding key skills for mentors, problem solving with mentees, and putting the theory into practice.
- Mentors receive tools that focus on these key areas:
- Being a role model
- Telling your leadership stories
- Serving as the “link”
- Building trust
- Questioning
- Listening
- Giving and Receiving Feedback
- Dialogue Models
- Establishing structure
- Goal setting
- Setting a personal action plan
