All the responses were fantastic. The person with the reason for wanting the book that caught my attention would have a one hour mentoring session where I would help him or her gain clarity on their career goal.

Your formal mentoring relationships will go more smoothly and impact you more when your partnerships contain a certain amount of structure, a process to follow during the beginning, middle, and end of your formal time together.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

There are four (4) phases that your #mentoring relationship should be structured around if you desire success:

1. Planning for mentoring
2. Building relationship/negotiating agreement
3. Developing #mentee/maintaining momentum
4. Ending formal relationship

#HRwithEM

1. Planning for #mentoring

At this stage the #mentor and #mentee think about themselves and what they want to give and receive in this important relationship.

Questions addressed are: where you've come from, where you are now, and where you want to go next. #HRwithEM

What vital lessons have you learned up to now? What's your vision for the rest of your life? What can you offer as a mentor? How could you help others excel?

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

Once you know yourself a little better and what you have to offer, you're ready to move into the next phase of the relationship.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

2. Building Relationship/Negotiating Agreement

The first part of this phase is getting to know one another in order to build trust. It's important to take plenty of time required to develop a strong relationship.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

Be sure to exchange contact information such as email addresses and phone numbers. Ask your partner about when it's all right to call him/her. Talk about how soon you normally can expect a reply from each other.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

Once your mentoring relationship is underway, start to nail down several agreements including:

SCHEDULE - discuss the probable length of your formal partnership.

MEETING LOGISTICS - decide when and where you will meet.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

EXPECTATIONS- explore roles you picture for each of you. Do you want to be more of a sounding board than a teacher?Do you and your mentee favour a teaching or coaching role for you? Would you like to be an accountability partner?

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

CONFIDENTIALITY- the best mentoring relationship maintains confidentiality between mentors and mentees.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

FEEDBACK - come to agreement on how you would like to give and receive positive and corrective feedback from each other.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

ANY LIMITS OR PREFERENCES - discuss your learning and communication styles so you can work well together.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

3. Developing Mentee/Maintaining Momentum

This is the longest phase of the mentoring relationship. Work with your mentee to choose a maximum of three (3) goals/objectives at a time to work on in your relationship.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

These mentee development objectives can focus on skill development, knowledge gain, or attitude change.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

To maintain momentum in your partnership, try a number of ideas to keep the relationship interesting, productive, and mutually beneficial e.g. plan to attend a special activity (such as a conference) later in the partnership.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

4. Ending Formal Relationship

Rather than letting a relationship continue and have no focus or letting it disintegrate from lack of attention, a formal ending will help both of you with this important transition.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

Prepare for Departure Day in advance.

You can have a conversation like this: "We only have three months in our formal mentoring partnership. What else do we need to accomplish?"

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

When departure is near, discuss several items:

What you've accomplished
What this experience has meant to both of you
What and whom your #mentee needs next in order to continue developing
What each of you would like next for this relationship.

#mentoring #mentorship #HRwithEM

Regarding what's next, both of you might choose to:

Continue the formal arrangement (see if your program allows it);

Change to informal mentoring (discuss your expectations);

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

Continue with a friendship (this might be difficult to implement); or

Celebrate, express appreciation, and part company with no future contact plans.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

Your closing celebration could be in several forms:

You could schedule a closing lunch or dinner.

You could write an encouraging note summarising what you've observed and expressing your appreciation.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

You might give a gift such as a framed photo of the two of you, a desk ornament, book, or a framed quotation.

Make a choice that would make the partnership a memorable one for both of you.

#mentoring #mentorship #mentee #mentor #HRwithEM

We have come to the end of today's #HRwithEM #TwitterSession and I hope that you have learned how to put a structure around your mentoring relationship to ensure success.
