Mentoring Crash Course
Be the mentor you wish you had.
People with mentors are more satisfied and more successful in their careers, and mentors benefit too. The best mentoring relationships feel less like a program and more like an ongoing conversation built on curiosity and respect.
This hands-on workshop covers how to build that kind of relationship: building trust, listening well, setting goals together, sharing your own stories and giving feedback that lands. The skills carry over to leadership well beyond mentoring.
What participants do
- Building trust: what psychological safety looks like in a mentoring relationship
- Active listening practice, then a paired mentoring conversation on a real challenge, with feedback
- Motivation and goal setting with your mentee
- Storytelling: sharing your own career moments in a way that helps your mentee
- Constructive feedback with a four-step structure
- Your mentor mission statement, and a checklist for the first meeting
What participants take away
- How to build trust and really listen
- A clear structure for goal setting and feedback
- Your own mentor mission statement
