Structure The Mentoring Relationship
How can the simple act of spending time in conversation with someone who may not even be an expert in your field have such a significant impact?
How does a relationship, which may seem contrived and artificial at first, become an affiliation of confidence and trust? And,
How does someone who is not a trained coach or counsellor, elicit the cognitive and behavioural changes evident in documented outcomes of mentoring?
The answers seem to lie in the approach taken in contemporary mentoring relationships that capitalises on natural human learning capabilities.
People do meet randomly and have useful conversations and spark up relationships. Informal mentoring has always happened but in today's demanding environment, with generational differences, an aging workforce, skills shortages and the so-called "war for talent", what organisation can afford to leave it to chance?
Introducing people to appropriate mentoring partners, training them to fulfill their mentoring roles and providing a framework for productive mentoring conversations will yield the greatest benefits.

“The professional way in which it has been introduced, especially the pre-program training, was absolutely essential.
I’ve found the program to be immensely useful in separating the coaching input given by my line manager from the development and career support provided by my mentor.
The mentor relationship provides an outlet for matters that are not part of the day to day job as well as the sage counsel of people with a wide range of industry and life experiences.
I have the confidence that whatever I discuss with my mentor is confidential and that he will work with me to ensure I get the guidance I need to overcome obstacles.
One of the key messages I would like to reinforce is that matching mentor & mentee is critical to achieving a positive outcome. I’m really benefiting both personally and professionally from the program and would happily recommend it to anyone.”
