Mentoring  
 
What  is  it  ?    
A  thesaurus  advised  me  a  mentor  is  an  adviser,  a  coach,  a  counsellor,  a  guide,  an  instructor,  a  
teacher  or  indeed  a  tutor
...
 As  a  riding  instructor  it  doesn’t  mean  you  are  a  mentor  at  
the  same  time
...
"  Eric  Parsloe,  The  Oxford  School  of  Coaching  &  Mentoring
...
 
A  mentor  can  be  used  in  any  walk  of  life  but  it  is  about  having  a  partnership  that  never  tires
...
 The  difference  between  this  and  teaching  is  that  the  mentee  must  find  their  own  
way  with  guidance  from  the  mentee,  they  learn  as  they  go  along  rather  than  being  merely  taught
...
   A  mentor  must  never  forcibly  show  a  direction  that  the  mentee  should  follow  they  
should  guide  in  order  that  the  mentee  can  make  his  or  her  own  decisions,  even  if  the  result  is  failure  
it  is  a  positive  action  as  the  mentee  will  choose  a  different  path  the  next  time  when  faced  with  the  
same  set  of  circumstances  or  questions
...
 
A  coach  teaches  someone  the  answers  2  +2  =  4  a  mentor  leads  someone  to  find  the  answer  
themselves  !  

 
 
Formal  Mentoring    
 
In  preparing  and  researching  for  this  test  I  looked  into  being  a  formal  mentor  using  the  techniques  
spoken  about  below  from  Working  Wisdom:  Timeless  Skills  and  Vanguard  Strategies  for  Learning  
Organizations
...
Accompanying:  making  a  commitment  in  a  caring  way,  which  involves  taking  part  in  the  
learning  process  side-­‐by-­‐side  with  the  learner
...

...
 Sowing  is  necessary  when  you  know  that  what  you  say  may  not  be  understood  or  
even  acceptable  to  learners  at  first  but  will  make  sense  and  have  value  to  the  mentee  when  the  
situation  requires  it
...
 
 
3
...
 Here  the  
mentor  chooses  to  plunge  the  learner  right  into  change,  provoking  a  different  way  of  thinking,  a  
change  in  identity  or  a  re-­‐ordering  of  values
...
 It’s  almost  the  eureka  moment  when  the  
mentee  just  realises  that  they  are  now  thinking  a  different  way  in  order  to  face  the  challenges  
ahead
...
Showing:  this  is  making  something  understandable,  or  using  your  own  example  to  demonstrate  a  
skill  or  activity
...
 
 

5
...
 The  key  questions  here  are:  
"What  have  you  learned?",  "How  useful  is  it?"
...
 
Informal  Mentoring    
 
This  is  a  relationship  based  on  like  rather  than  a  formal  request  to  find  a  mentor
...
 
Both  formal  and  informal  mentors  must  have  similar  skills  such  as  listening  and  mutual  respect  but  
informal  is  much  more  ad  hoc  not  so  much  organised  as  it  just  happens  and  grows
...
 It  is  a  matter  between  the  two  people  the  mentor  
and  mentee  it  comes  down  to  the  personalities  of  those  two  people  involved
...
 
 
Any  questions  ??  
 
The  Values  of  the  Mentor  
 
A  mentor  passes  on  their  own  values  to  the  mentee  such  as  the  welfare  of  a  horse  many  people  
have  different  views  on  this  but  the  relationship  between  the  mentor  and  mentee  is  so  close  that  
these  values  will  transfer
...
 
The  mentor  must  always  reflect  upon  where  they  are  in  the  relationship  and  where  it  is  going,  
hugely  helped  by  continuous  CPD
