What is Mentoring?
• Mentoring is a one-to-one relationship in which an experienced person (mentor) provides advice, support and encouragement to a less experienced person (mentee).
• The goal is for the mentee to find their own path for development and growth, to realise their full potential.

Mentoring/Love
Rule #2People should find their own mentors…
You ‘giving’ someone a mentor is like you throwing a boy I’ve never met at me and saying,
“Here! This guy is your boyfriend for the next six months!”
Criteria for Good Mentors
• Experience: Have been in the mentee’s ‘shoes’ before• Perspective: Can share relevant viewpoints • Distance: Mentor has no direct influence on the mentee’s
role (ie, your team leader cannot be your mentor)• Sufficient time commitment
Discussion
• Who of your experienced members and alumni might make good mentors?
• Why? • In what areas could they be useful?
How Do I Get a Mentor?
• ‘Warm leads’ are best:
- Ask people you know
- Or get referrals from them• If ‘cold calling’:
- Do research and have target organisation in mind
- Enquire via HR co-ordinator• Openly say you are seeking a mentor and your goals… it
will help them refer you onto the most appropriate person
Mentoring/Love
Rule #3Meeting someone through friends
is much nicer than a blind date
Expectations of Mentorship
Participate Take time to get to know them
Set clear expectations Set clear boundaries between personal and professional
Respect confidentiality Balance between ‘need to know’ and ‘nice to know’ information
Follow up on action steps Evaluate the relationship
Expectations of Mentee
• Be influenced by the person not their position• Accept responsibility for your own development • Identify development needs• Share feedback received with peers/leaders• Respect your mentor’s busy schedule• Understand that YOU are the driver of the relationship
Expectations of Mentor
• Be aware of your ‘power’ and that it may influence how mentee approaches you
• Provide advice but recognise it might not be followed• Act as a role model• Share experiences and stories• Provide honest feedback
Do Not Expect…
• Mentor to give feedback about you to your peers/leaders• The relationship to continue after the agreed time period• Introductions to other people• Help on personal problems• Promotion or compensation
Stages of Mentor Relationship
• 1. Mentor/mentee become acquainted• 2. Mentor/mentee clarify goals/
expectations• 3. Needs are fulfilled as personal and
professional development occurs• 4. Mentorship ends and relationship
re-defined as colleagues and/or peers
Mentoring/Love
Rule #4Just like relationships, in a mentorship you’ll get to know each other,
have a ‘talk’ about where the mentorship is going, fufill your needs, and either move on or make it last!
Before the First Meeting…
• Consider your goals for the mentorship (and to LCVPHR)• Consider level of commitment (time, energy,
communication) you can give• Consider level of commitment you expect from the other
person• Send each other short biographies or CV
The First Meeting…
• Get to know each other (setting should be social)• Share goals and expectations• Decide form and frequency of contact• Establish kind of support the mentee needs• The roles with which the mentor feels comfortable
- Counsellor, role model, resource, etc
- Professional/personal/AIESEC issues• Date, action points and agenda for the next meeting
Ongoing Meetings…
• Discuss action points from previous meeting• Look at what was achieved• Discuss issues/successes that have arisen since previous
meeting and how to address them• Set goals for next meeting• Clarify how these fit into AIESEC/life plan• Set agenda and time/date for next meeting
Topics for Ongoing Meetings
• Problem solving• Analysing strengths and
weaknesses• Reviewing personal goal
setting plans • Reviewing functional plans• Discussing industry trends
Form and Frequency
• These should be decided by each mentorship pair
• Average one hour contact per month
• More contact in first two months (to build bonds and trust)
• In person most productive but also phone, IM and email
Discussion
• Could you yourself benefit from a mentor? • What kind of mentor would suit you? • What would be your goals for this mentorship?
What to Review
• How many times have you met? In person/by telephone?• Do you feel comfortable with the current
– Level of trust between– Progress made in building relationship– Support to your goals – Direction for next 6 months
• Do you require additional support in getting the most out of your mentorship?
How to Review
• Mentor/mentee evaluate in one of their meetings
• VPHR evaluation with mentee (or mentor)
- Short survey
- Casual chat• All mentees together (or all
mentors and mentees)• Results go to VPHR who keeps written record
When to Review
• Evaluation important early in the relationship• Evaluate with the mentee one month into the mentorship to
check contact has been made and expectations communicated
• Also helpful at 3 and 6 months into it to check progress
Mentoring/Love
Rule #5Painful though it can be,
you should regularly check on the health of the relationship
You always talk to your friends about how you think the relationship is going
