Making the most of being Mentored

To be an effective mentee, whether it is formal or informal, requires the ability to identify an appropriate mentor while being open to criticism and implementing suggested changes as required.

The PD Training Making the Most of Being Mentored Training course was developed for mentees and ensures that any mentorship program is successful and rewarding by teaching the mentee how to find a mentor, how to build a strong relationship and put the mentor's knowledge to work in a meaningful way.

This dynamic training course is available now throughout Australia, including Brisbane, Sydney,, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.

"I loved the Personal Style Profile activity - Advisor, Counsellor, Driver, Coach. By having participants walk around and stand next to a profile of choice, it encouraged deep self-reflection on one's work style/personal style."

Queensland Competition Authority (QCA)

 

"Course provided a great overview of the mentor/ mentee relationship, how to approach mentors and how to manage expectations."
