The purpose of this session is to accelerate mentor/partner skill building (or group skill in the case of group mentoring.) It is a focused preparation opportunity that includes specific “How-To’s” and results in a written plan to move forward. Mentors and partners learn about the four stages of mentoring and what to expect from each, how to teach and learn from a menu of mentoring activities, and how to address potential issues with candor and caring.
