Calgary, AB, Mentorship is an important process to stimulate the economic environment. When experience shares with inexperienced transformation happens. This is good. This is strategic. And this is worthwhile.
Investments into the future are what a mentorship program is about. Investing time and effort into another business, person or project is a wise use of time and money. The benefits to mentoring are far-reaching. Some of the benefits include: provisions for success based on successful instruction; solid relationship building; and insights to balance approaches.
When a mentee enters the mentorship they often exude exhilaration. They are enthusiastic and hopeful. They want answers and have many questions. This, however, needs to be carefully contained by the mentor in order to stay organized and focused. Each mentorship relationship is different but here are 5 guidelines to use as parameters for mentorship:
1) Establish two main goals or objectives that can be attained in a set period or framework.
2) Construct rules of communication, how much, when and in what mode.
3) Determine best practices for mentoring, hands-on, examples, case studies, practical applications, or theory.
4) Determine whether group, personal, teleseminars, or webinars will be used for assistance.
5) Evaluate at moment-of-need, provide feedback and resources.
Position yourself as a mentor to help the other but not to work as the mentee's assistant.
