Better Together

The Ideal Mentor?

Mentoring is great! I have had the privilege of having some formal and informal mentors during my life and felt the benefit. I have also had the privilege of coaching and mentoring others to develop their ideas into reality.

During my MEd program at Athabasca University, I collaborated with some peers to put together the following profile. It features the competencies that a mentor should develop and deploy to enable mentees. What do you think? Perhaps you can use it to find or become the “Ideal Mentor”?

Do you have ideas you want to develop?
Do you need to fix critical problems?
Are you are pinned down with day-to-day work and don’t know where to start or how to sustain change?

    Jason was really supportive and helpful. His approach to mentorship outlined above was theraputic for me. He listened to the challenges I faced and provided feeback that was insightful and had practical applications.
    It was great having someone understand what I was confronted with and work to find solutions that would work for me. I adapted methods we discussed to develop the core skills of my team, improve a strained relationship with my manager, and set more realistic expectations with a demanding client.

    It was very beneficial experience and I’ll surely seek his guidance again.
