In mentoring, it is important as mentors to take time at the beginning of the partnership to help the mentee define and refine their goals and to consider what is achievable and realistic.  Coaching and mentoring models can help with this task and this workshop will explore some of these, giving the participants the opportunity to try some out in practice.  Participants should come to the workshop with a goal in mind to practice these techniques in one-ton-one break out groups.  

Pre-workshop task: Bring a goal with you to the workshop so that you can practice goal setting with another participant.  This can be a long-term or short-term goal and it can be work or home related. Although you will be encouraged to share with the wider group how you found using the techniques, you do not have to discuss the goal itself, respecting confidentiality in mentoring is fundamental to all mentoring partnerships.

Although presented as separate workshops, the 4 mentoring workshop sessions are purposely scaffolded to develop mentoring practice and participants are encouraged to attend all where possible.
