Continuing your focus on mentoring, this week you'll look more practically at the goals and objectives that a mentor could help you with. You'll learn about some of the models a mentor might use to structure your discussions, such as the 5C model. Using this, your mentor will take you through challenges, choices, consequences, creative solutions, and conclusions. Next, you'll consider how to find the right mentor. Evidence suggests that if you find them yourself, you will have a more successful mentoring experience. Sometimes your employer will already have a scheme. If not, there are lots of ways to identify and approach relevant individuals. The last section this week is all about becoming a mentor yourself. Is this something you've considered? You'll think about who you could mentor, and you'll learn about building your skills and the potential benefits to your own career.
