Overview
This practical workshop provides the structure and rigour needed to establish successful mentoring relationships. Mentoring is a powerful way to share experience, develop professional capability and support career growth, but successful mentoring relationships do not happen by chance. They require a shared understanding of the purpose of the relationship, mutual respect, clear expectations and appropriate boundaries.
Participants will learn how to define roles and expectations, establish clear boundaries, build trust, and conduct mentoring conversations that encourage reflection, problem-solving, career development and shared learning. Through practical tools, techniques and discussion, participants will develop the confidence to build mentoring relationships that are purposeful, productive and mutually beneficial.
