WORKSHOPS THROUGHOUT THE MENTORING JOURNEY
Building engagement, learning and community from start to finish
Successful mentoring programmes require both a strong start and ongoing support. Lasting impact is created when participants are supported throughout the mentoring journey with opportunities to learn, reflect, connect and grow.
By bringing mentors and mentees together, organisations create a mentoring community where participants share experiences, learn from one another, build meaningful relationships and maintain momentum throughout the programme. The relationships and networks established often continue to create value long after the programme has ended.
The Mentor+™ Kick-off and Workshops are designed to strengthen learning, deepen mentoring conversations and maintain engagement throughout the programme. Through facilitated dialogue, practical tools and shared reflection, participants gain new insights, develop their mentoring skills, learn from the experiences of others and strengthen their connection to the wider mentoring community.
A key learning tool throughout the workshops is the Mentor+Game™, based on the Mentor’s Many Roles. The game helps mentors and mentees explore different mentoring situations, reflect on expectations and identify which mentor roles can best support learning, development and progress.
Participants will gain
- New tools and techniques to strengthen mentoring conversations
- Opportunities to reflect on progress, challenges and learning
- Greater confidence in their mentoring role and relationship
- Access to a supportive mentoring community and peer network
- Insights and inspiration from participants across the programme
- Practical support to maintain momentum and engagement throughout the mentoring journey
Available formats
Workshops can be delivered online or in person and are tailored to the specific objectives, audience and phase of your mentoring programme.
