How to Mentor
"The TakeAway Training Film Series" comprises short, practical training films providing managers, supervisors and staff with techniques, advice and ideas on some of the key areas of their job. The series which features "talking head discussion" between psychologists Eve Ash and Peter Quarry, is designed for learning resource centres and management self-development. When the first titles in the series appeared, "People Management Journal" said: "...one of the main selling points is that they firmly place responsibility for learning with the learner...They could be used either as stand-alone distance learning tools or as part of a training session. I am sure that any viewer will be able to take up their basic principles and apply them." Many companies are introducing mentoring programs. In "How to Mentor" you will learn some practical techniques for mentoring others and observe role modeling of two mentoring sessions; one of an initial meeting and one of a later session. Discover getting started with enthusiasm; how to build trust; listening and questioning skills; contracting - when, where and how often; agreeing on goals - including career focus; identifying concerns and skills to be developed; identifying trends in behaviour; and, confronting and challenging the mentee.
