NARRATOR
In the final week of this course, you'll pause to reflect on what you've learned and make some decisions about how to move forward. Do you want to find a mentor or a coach, or are you interested in becoming one yourself? You'll set yourself some SMART goals, which must be Specific, Measurable, Agreed, Realistic, and Time-bound. And you'll create an action plan to take them forward. To help you research your options further, you'll explore useful resources for both mentoring and coaching. And finally, you'll take a look into the future, imagining what mentoring or coaching might become. You'll spend some time considering the value of virtual mentors and identifying who could be a virtual mentor for you. Congratulations on reaching the end of this course, and good luck with your next steps.
