Workshops for
Mentors

Workshop Overview

The goal of the workshop, in combination with the prerequisite online training, is to equip mentors with the basic knowledge, skills and tools they need to achieve a productive learning alliance with a mentee, and to avoid the common pitfalls and obstacles that untrained mentors face.

Mentors are asked to complete a 90 minute online training course prior, to allow time for discussion of the content and principles in the workshop.

The online course structure combines engaging instruction, mentoring demonstrations, interviews with experienced mentors and mentees, reading materials, tools and downloadable resources.

The workshop is highly interactive, with breakout room discussions and exercises.

Topics Covered

• Mentor skills self-assessment
• The role of a mentor
• Key styles, skills, and approach of successful mentors
• Asking powerful questions (exercise) and guiding the conversation (exercise)
• How to work with a mentee on goal-setting
• What makes a productive mentoring relationship

Workshop Overview

Mentees must prioritise personal growth and development by setting clear, well-thoughtout goals. New mentees may have varying levels of goal awareness, ranging from specific objectives to a general need for guidance.

Regardless, working with their mentor to define, refine, or explore goals is crucial for productive mentoring and personal growth. The Goal-Setting Workshop for Mentors aims to equip mentors with the tools to:

1. Help their mentee identify what they’d like to achieve from their mentoring relationship

• Their role and the mentee’s role in goal setting
• Common goal areas and example mentee goals, to help trigger ideas
