Mentor Training

Not everyone makes a good mentor or a good mentee. It is important to filter out those who are doing it for the wrong reasons, or have the wrong attitude. The more self-aware a mentor can be about their behaviour and their skills, particularly their ability to listen, the better the relationship will be. YTKO’s mentor training is designed to give mentors insight into what effective mentoring actually means, and how to improve their effectiveness.

Our training includes:

• Boundary setting
• Dealing with stressful situations
• Retaining objectivity in the face of someone else’s emotions
• How to overcome difficulties and problems
• Empathy, guidance and challenge
• Active listening and reflection
• Enabling and empowering

All this is coupled with practical communication techniques, required in one-to-one mentoring situations.

Having designed and delivered a number of mentor programmes for different projects and public sector commissioners, we know that training can make a huge difference to the effectiveness of a mentoring programme. It helps clarify the larger purpose of mentoring but also gives people relevant tools and techniques to be able to achieve better outcomes and impact. Our trainers enhance the learning experience with our high energy, results driven, interactive approach, both in the classroom and through live remote training.
