Mentoring: Cultivating Leadership
Like what you see? Try some of our other programs:
Mentoring is the art of giving, sharing, and teaching wisdom. Unlike coaching, there is no model to which the individual is being compared (i.e. 360° leadership evaluation results, Myers-Briggs temperament results, job expectations, etc.) Highly effective mentoring incorporates the invisible dynamics of cause and effect, the un-measurable elements of perception and change, and most of all, helps the student realize the difference between the real and the unreal.
In powerful mentoring relationships, the “model” that the mentor uses to convey this wisdom is the individual (the mentee) and how the individual has constructed the world and him or herself through their perceptions, opinions, experiences, and beliefs. The mentor is fully aware that the wisdom the mentee needs to improve life, and work does not lie outside themselves but inside themselves. The mentor is fully aware that the true mentee-mentor role is a symbiotic one, one in which the role of mentor and mentee is often reversed. The mentor is fully aware that true learning results in change and that change is the desired outcome of the relationship.
This program is dedicated to increasing the participant’s ability to serve in the mentor role as one who not only knows the path, but one who walks the path, as one who teaches the path of change and growth by demonstrating it. This program is dedicated to helping you move from being a leader to being a developer of leaders.
