One of the key facets of professional and academic success, is to help to develop and empower those around you. Moreover, it is also vital for us to seek out the right people to help support and challenge us as we develop. In this session, we'll explore what mentoring is (and is not) and how to build developmental relationships to help realise an individual’s potential. We’ll consider the skills of mentoring and moving beyond a simple ‘advice-giving’ model – developing techniques such as consciously designing an alliance, listening, questioning and goal setting that will help you in your role as you develop and manage others.
