Mentoring

Changing technology needs changing skills, new technology, and new skills. The person who wants to succeed in an ever changing world, should create shortcuts by seeking mentors and coaches. The mentor opens the doors, the coach guides them through."

Out mentorship program focuses on equipping mentors with the necessary skills to pass on knowledge, experience and expertise by way of a meaningful relationship that is structured and planned. The end result is the protégé’s competence. Sharing analogies with lions, our training approach is unique yet holistic. We analyze the four phases of the mentor protégé relationship and focus on the role that the mentor has to play in each. Considerable emphasis is placed on those areas of the relationship that would require particular skills.

Outcomes of the workshop for mentors are:

	Participants will recognise the differences between coaching and mentorship as well as the behaviours and focus areas of each;
	Participants will grasp the strategic importance of mentorship for their organisation;
	Participants will acquire the skills that will be necessary in each of the phases of the mentor protégé relationship e.g. conflict handling and feedback on poor performance;
	Participants will develop a critical self awareness around own strengths and development areas; and
	Energised mentors that have the right mindset and motivation for the task at hand.

In addition we also focus on assisting protégés with the skills to manage the mentoring relationship to their benefit. The challenges and realities of their working environment are explored with the protégé. They are encouraged to take responsibility for their own future and their career.  We assist them to discover their internal strengths and develop action plans to achieve their personal vision.

Outcomes of the workshop for protégé’s are:

	Explore the changing landscape and its impact on managing themselves and others;
	Discover the power of a personal vision;
	Realize the importance of a positive attitude in their personal life, toward the organisation that employs them and the job that they do;
	Determine their core vision capabilities;
	Learn techniques to manage fear, self doubt and other stumbling blocks to achieve personal goals;
	Develop skills to manage change in uncertain times;
	Increase their job performance by managing their job outputs more effectively; and
	Produce personal action plans for their lives and future.
