Mentoring Services

How Does it Work?

1. The mentee makes contact with the mentor.

• The first meeting is arranged. This can be face to face, or by telephone.

2. At the first meeting.

• The agreement should be downloaded and adapted for the partnership before being signed by both parties.
• The process starts with a self-assessment to determine where strengths and weaknesses lie. These will inform thinking on goal setting and also identify where improvements need to take place in order to reach goals.
• Goals and deadlines having been set, it is up to both the mentee and the mentor to decide how often meetings will take place.
• Using this information, goals are set and action plans developed and implemented. These goals could be career, business or personal.

3. Three to six months into the partnership.

• The achievements so far should be reviewed and the goals and deadlines reviewed.
• It may be that following this initial period you no longer need to meet with such regularity. All this can be discussed and put in the revised agreement.

4. Regular reviews.

• At least every six months achievements, goals and deadlines should be reviewed.
  
• These areas should be visible only to the mentee, their mentor and the project management team.

5. Partnership Beyond.

• Once the Mentoring partnership has been achieved, both parties should agree to amicably move on into their own development or further pursue matter of mutual interest. Click here for further guidance.
