Practice

During the in-person 4-hour workshop, we initiate the development of mentoring skills through hands-on mentoring activities. In dyads, participants engage in discussions to establish their working agreement, defining expectations, acceptable practices, and boundaries (session #1) The dyads then conduct their initial mentoring session, applying the knowledge acquired from one another in practice and they get feedback from the facilitators (session #2)

Agenda for session #2 with your mentee

Get Support

After the practice session, we ensure the success of the programme by consistently checking in with mentors to evaluate the programme's effectiveness and the progress of the pairs. Furthermore, through the TAOLIN platform, we provide pairs with conversational prompts, assignments, and resources to enhance the development of empathic skills and best practices in mentorship. This support continues until the completion of the programme.
