Mentoring For Adults
Mentors can save the world as well as careers.
After twenty-five years of pioneering mentoring programs for adults
in the workplace, it still delights and fascinates me to create
mentoring communities where individuals and organizations can thrive
– and learn how to make a difference at home and in the world.
People can help each other find and realize their dreams.

This Month's Mentoring Tips:
| A Tip For Mentors: |
|
|
| Get beyond the “emergency room”
issues the mentee is presenting immediately. Don’t just
do band-aids; try to look at the broadest and deepest dilemmas
the person is presenting, rather than just the immediate symptoms.
If s/he is having trouble with a supervisor, ask about whether
these difficulties remind them of others. Ask about the best
and worst boss the person has had before, and what that tells
them about what to look for in a supervisor now. Help them see
how to evoke the best behavior from the person “over”
them. |

A Tip For Mentees: |
| |
|
Go back over your proudest,
best accomplishment ever with your mentor. Take at least an
hour to tell the whole story and explore every aspect of what
you did from the very beginning to the very end. Look at what
helped you succeed and what got in the way – and what
you can learn from that experience to set you up for success
now. Are you a loner who likes control over your work, or do
you do best when you can work in a community of people who are
all contributing? |
