At last! Lots more companies are waking up to the fact that people can't always 'do it' alone. They need support, guidance and nurturing. To help with this, organisations are putting mentoring programmes in place.
All well and good.
However, once in place, a lot of people don't quite know where to go from there. How should it work? What are its aims and objectives? What does being a mentor mean and how do people use one if they've been assigned one?
Good mentoring is unbiased, objective support that identifies the qualities and abilities in other people and develops them; it identifies which hurdles are hard to get over and finds ways to get over or circumvent them when appropriate. Whether you are the mentor or the 'mentee', using the mentoring forum can be hugely rewarding.
Impact Factory creates comprehensive courses on mentoring and coaching designed to give mentors and mentees insight into what mentoring actually means and helps them define goals and parameters that are suitable within their company's culture.
Our courses look at boundary setting, dealing with stressful situations, retaining objectivity in the face of someone else's emotions, how to present difficulties and problems without dumping, guiding someone to a solution without telling them, finding options and making active choices.
All this is coupled with practical communication techniques, especially useful in one-to-one situations.
What we already know, having designed a number of courses for different companies, is that this kind of training can make a huge difference in how effective a mentoring programme ends up being. It helps clarify the larger purpose of mentoring, but also gives people relevant tools and techniques to be able to make the most of their mentoring schemes.
