Mentoring DefinitionsMentoring (Shea, 1999):

A developmental caring, sharing and helping relationship where one person invests time, know-how, and effort in enhancing another person’s growth, knowledge, and skills.Responding to critical needs in the life of another person in ways that prepare that person for greater performance, productivity, or achievement in the future.

Key Points About Mentoring

Mentors facilitate learning by listening, empowering, coaching, challenging, teaching, collaborating, aiding, assisting, supporting, easing, simplifying, and encouraging. Mentors do not have the answers; they encourage mentees to find them within themselves.

Beginning StageHigh levels of instruction, structure, and support

Variable sense of professional identity

Supervisees tend to be dependent, anxious, and insecure

Relationship is hierarchical

Usually use didactic, one-on-one instruction

Workers will imitate supervisor

Supervisee lacks confidence

Performance awkward or unnatural

Asks many questions

Naively optimistic about impact on clients

Page 31: Piñon Project:  Coaching and Mentoring

31

Middle StageComfortable with job tasks

Anticipates behaviors and plans accordingly

Recognizes patterns, makes intuitive decisions

Supervisee may become somewhat disillusioned

Supervisor-supervisee relationship is more collegial

Often the time when workers question their commitment to field/job and quit

Page 32: Piñon Project:  Coaching and Mentoring

32

End StageBoundaries are fully-developed

Developed a fully integrated understanding

More accepting of client participation in problem-solving

Greater acceptance of the complexity, ambiguity, and multi-causality of human behavior

Page 33: Piñon Project:  Coaching and Mentoring

33

Applying a Developmental Approach1. Know the developmental stage of

the supervisee.2. Develop a repertoire of strategies

Defining Feedback

50

Constructive Feedback: Information-specific, issue-focused, and based on something observed.

Positive Feedback – A statement about an effort well done.Negative Feedback – A statement about an effort that needs improvement.

Praise and Criticism: In contrast, these statements are personal judgments about an effort or outcome. Praise is a favorable judgment while criticism is an unfavorable judgment. (Source: Brounstein, 2000)

Page 51: Piñon Project:  Coaching and Mentoring

51

Feedback, Praise or Criticism?

Review the list of feedback statements tied to each Piñon standard.Which are praise or criticism vs. positive and negative feedback?Take a minute and turn praise/criticism comments into effective feedback statements.

Active ListeningLeads to:

ClarificationReflectionSummarization (i.e., pulling out key points)Feedback

Coaching questions are open-ended:

What, Tell me, When, How, How Often, How Much, and Who

Page 55: Piñon Project:  Coaching and Mentoring

Power of QuestionsStatements bring us into relationship with the other

Statements are often generated from anxiety - they do not invite curiosity

Questions invite the other to tell us something about themselves

Questions stimulate thinking

55

Page 56: Piñon Project:  Coaching and Mentoring

Power of Questions

Questions give us information about ourselves and how we see the world.

Questions ask people to develop their listening skills.

56

Page 57: Piñon Project:  Coaching and Mentoring

Value of SilenceDon’t rush to respond. Allow time for the person talking to collect his/her thoughts if necessary.

Give time for answering questions.

Silence allows person to hear himself and formulate thoughts more clearly.
