Mentoring

Most of us know what we want to do and where we want to go, but don't know how to get there.... we need support, guidance and nurturing. To help with this, organisations are putting mentoring programmes in place.

But how does a good mentoring relationship work? What are its aims and objectives? What does being a mentor mean and how do people use one if they've been assigned one?

Good mentoring is unbiased, objective support that identifies the qualities and abilities in other people and develops them; it identifies which hurdles are hard to get over and finds ways to get over or circumvent them. Whether you are the 'mentor' or the 'mentee', using the mentoring forum can be hugely rewarding.

restorEgo has designed and delivered courses on mentoring and coaching designed to give mentors and mentees insight into what mentoring actually means and helps them define goals and parameters that are suitable within their company's culture. And we work with individuals too.

Our courses look at boundary setting, dealing with stressful situations, retaining objectivity in the face of someone else's emotions, how to present difficulties and problems without dumping, guiding someone to a solution without telling them, finding options and making active choices.
