The Mentoring Process

Mentoring relationships are more successful and have more impact when it has a certain amount of structure.

A four-step structure to follow during the pre, beginning, middle, and end of your partnership looks like this:

  1. Planning for mentoring and finding a mentor
  2. Initiation Phase Meetings: building the relationship and developing the Mentoring Agreement
  3. Mid-Phase Meetings: development goals and continued success
  4. Ending the Formal Relationship: closure and evaluation

These phases’ best occur over a six to 12-month time period. The amount of time for each phase will vary depending on your needs and personal style of both mentor and mentee. Throughout the mid-phase meetings, make certain that progress analysis and progress checks are completed.
