HOW DOES MENTORING WORK?
Mentoring is: a relationship between two parties, who are not connected within a line-management structure, in which one party (the mentor) guides the other (the mentee) through a period of change and towards an agreed objective, or assists them to become acquainted with a new situation.
David Kay and Roger Hinds 2009.
MY TOP 10 STATEMENT OF MENTORING Interested in helping others succeed. They have a genuine interest in other
people’s lives and experience pleasure when helping others reach their goals. Caring. They are empathetic, open, reliable and honest with others. Willing to spend time. They reach out and share their life experiences to help
others with their life journey. Open to educate. They are able to pass on their knowledge, insights and
expertise clearly, encouragingly and helpfully. Patient. They offer help in finding life direction, never pushing. Trustworthy. They are dependable people who understand the importance of
keeping information shared strictly confidential. Practical. They assist in setting goals, objectives and timeframes. An active listener. They are listeners who are able to reflect back the relevant
issues while minimizing their own personal assumptions and prejudices. Inspirational. They aspire to excellence and encourage personal excellence in
others. Able to give advice. Mentors advise without explicitly dictating actions, allowing
mentee to find his/he way. Sensitive to people's feelings. They are able to provide constructive criticism
as well as compliments.
