Mentoring
We are experienced at setting up Mentoring schemes that include:
- Design of schemes
- Support to coordinators
- Training of mentors and mentees
Our Guiding beliefs
An effective mentor - mentee relationship provides the mentees with the following conditions:
- The acceptance that mentees should set their own objectives
- An appreciation that individuals have prior knowledge and experiences that are relevant
- The acceptance that individuals attempt at attaining their objectives will not always be successful
- The understanding that individuals experiences and developments- even apparent failures – are still learning experiences
- An understanding that individuals need to be motivated to strive and continue to achieve reasonable objectives
Mentoring is the development of the whole person by:
- Supporting individuals in discovering and defining their own development needs and setting own objectives fostering independent learners
- Allowing individuals to raise and talk about their issues occasionally clarifying, reflecting back and challenging
- Helping individuals to reflect on their beliefs, feelings, thoughts and behaviours and to view issues from multiple perspectives
- Guiding and encouraging individuals in self reliant analysis and solution of their problems
- Enabling people to become effective decision-makers
- Supporting the solution of issues by embracing and integrated approach
