MENTOR AND MENTEE TRAINING - PREPARING MENTORS AND MENTEES FOR SUCCESS
Training that engages, inspires and prepares mentors and mentees for a successful mentoring journey
Effective mentoring does not happen by chance. Mentors and mentees need a shared understanding of their roles, practical tools to support learning, and confidence in how to create meaningful mentoring conversations.
The Mentor+™ training workshops provide participants with the knowledge, skills and mindset needed to make the most of the mentoring experience. Through practical exercises, reflection and dialogue, participants gain clarity about their responsibilities and learning opportunities.
Mentors learn how to facilitate learning, support development and serve as role models and ambassadors for the organisation. At the same time, they discover how mentoring contributes to their own learning and growth.
Mentees learn how to take ownership of their development, define meaningful learning goals and make the most of the mentoring relationship. As a result, they become more reflective, proactive and better able to turn insights into action.
