Mentoring Methodologies
We endorse almost all kinds of Mentors provided they fulfil the IACTM Accredited Mentor Criteria and agree to the IACTM Code of Ethics.
A Mentor helps people to live without fear, find their own authenticity, and achieve what they need, want, believe and value.
Mentorship refers to a personal developmental relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps a less experienced or less knowledgeable person.
What is mentoring?
It is a relationship that empowers the Mentee to build their strengths and deal effectively with challenges through constructive dialogue.
It is a process of sensitive listening and sharing that promotes reflection, self exploration and responsible decision making.
It is one-on-one help that can address basic life skills or workplace competency.
It is about helping people to turn life experiences into knowledge that can be used for growth and action.
"Mentoring is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the psychosocial support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional development; mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or experience (the Mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less (the protégé(mentee))" - Bozeman, Feeney 2007.
Mentoring is a tool that organizations can use to nurture and grow their people. It can be an informal practice or a formal program. Mentee observe, question, and explore. Mentors demonstrate, explain and model.
There are two types of mentoring relationships: formal and informal. Informal relationships develop on their own between partners. Formal mentoring, on the other hand, refers to a structured process supported by an organization and addressed to target populations.
A summary of Mentoring's goals:
- To establish and develop a trusting relationship between Mentor and Mentee.
- To assist the Mentee in setting and achieving appropriate goals.
- To contribute to the development of a healthy self esteem and emotional intelligence.
- To provide a safe space to encourage sharing and expressing feelings openly.
- To encourage the development of resourcefulness through role modelling.
- To provide support in coming to terms with and rising above, difficult circumstances and situations.
