REFLECTIONS FROM INITIAL MENTORING SESSION
Open ended questions; good listening behavior; good summary of actions at end; supportive/ encouraging.
Next time: emphasise confidentiality and stress business/ non-business relationship – ground rules
Used 5Cs; used different examples for challenges; explored consequences; effective feedback.
Took time to clarify objective; good open ended questions. Moved into advice and suggestions maybe too early. Build relationship first.
Used GROW model; established SMART goals. Next time: introduced a business topic too early. Spend more time getting to know mentee.
Open ended questions encouraged mentee to be open; varying questions. Good referral to another source of information. (If you don’t know, don’t guess). Challenge: finding the right question to keep discussion going. Goals need to have a timeframe.

REFLECTIONS FROM FINAL MENTORING PRACTICE
Use of SWOT and Scaling. Good clarifying and open ended questions. Mentor offering suggestions. Scaling breaks bigger issue into smaller chunks and actions.
Mentor supportive. Asking questions. SWOT tool.
Good feedback from mentor. Used some parts of scaling.
Built on earlier discussion. Established good relationship. Positive outcomes after just 2 sessions based on trust.
Used scaling and explored obstacles. Well defined action plan driven by mentee. Also agreed how plan will be executed and measured.
