Mentoring as a facilitated journey

 

Mentoring is a facilitated journey where a mentor supports and guides their mentee through a range of challenges and tasks:

 

A mentor encourages his/her mentee to answer the above questions.  These ask the mentee to focus on what THEY want to achieve - not what their peers, family, managers, etc., want.

 

This cycle never ends.  Once the mentee has achieved a small target, the mentor encourages the mentee, again, to review where s/he is now and if s/he wants to set another small target to develop themselves further.
