But, as with many gifts, they often repay the giver as much as the receiver. Mentoring is a great way to learn yourself. It compels you to think through the best advice to give, and how to give it.

The three main types of mentoring:
1. Performance Mentoring
2. Developmental Mentoring
3. Career Mentoring:

So, how do you mentor a colleague?
David Clutterbuck’s six roles of a mentor:
1. Managing the relationship
2. Encourage
3. Nurture
4. Teach
5. Offer mutual respect
6. Respond to the learner’s needs

This suggests that your first task is to set up the mentoring relationship. You’ll need to think about:
• Preparing an agenda in advance
• Discussing a ‘Mentoring Agreement or Contract’. This may include things like:
o Objectives
o Confidentiality
o How often you’ll meet, and for how long
o Initial duration of the relationship
o Style of conversation (and any boundaries)
o Contact details
• Some time to chat, just to get to know one another and build rapport
• Discussing how you’ll talk about sensitive issues and what to do if one of you is uncomfortable with a conversation

The relationship you create can be anything from…
• Open to Closed:
• Public to Private:
• Formal to Informal
• Active to Passive
How active will the mentee be in creating their agenda and acting on your discussions?

Here is a good Model for a Mentoring Conversation, based on David Kolb and Roger Fry’s Experiential Learning Cycle.
1. Ask about the experience your mentee wants to discuss
2. Ask questions to help them reflect on what happened. Take care to elicit precise observations, rather than assumptions and inquire into possible meanings, causes, and interpretations.
3. Help them to generalize their experience and learning into a new understanding of the situation
4. Ask about how this can apply in current and future circumstances. Look for actions they can take to consolidate their learning and improve their performance.\n
