Mentorship · 3-page PDF · 15-25 minutes
A short reflection for adults who want to offer useful guidance.
What this workbook helps you do
The mentor's job is easier to evaluate when attention stays on the participant's needs. Ask whether you listened, whether your advice matched the situation, and whether you kept your own commitments. Bring concerns to the program's designated staff. Avoid treating a personal story as an answer to every question.
A practice example
A mentor notices that he talked for most of a meeting. At the next session he starts with the young man's account of the week and asks what support would be useful.
