MENTORING

MBCI’s Train the Business Mentor Program is designed to transform individuals into credible Mentor-Leaders. Mentor-Leaders who will stimulate others to expand their horizons, question assumptions and examine beliefs and values in order to develop their best potential.

At MBCI we understand your need to be a more effective Mentor-Leader. This practical facilitation-training program will prepare you in the use of sound principles in mentoring. You will gain all the practical skills required and you will be provided with a comprehensive manual with information that will enhance your abilities as a mentor.

The program commences with an engaging 32 hours of group workshops covering 8 modules. These modules encourage personal and group interaction, in a framework that allows individuals to support each other.

The 8 modules are:

- Introduction To Mentoring
- Establishing The Mentoring Relationship
- The Mentoring Road Map
- Mentoring Competencies
- Mentoring Skills
- Introduction To Problem Solving Tools
- The Powerful Art Of Mentoring
- The Competent Mentor

This phase of the Train the Business Mentor Program is the equipping & empowering stage. Participants will learn the fundamentals of a good mentoring-coaching relationship. They will also be equipped and empowered with the tools that are needed to develop their mentees-coachees in general business and people development skills.

 Fully certified MBCI facilitators will lead the workshop phase.

Workshops will be coordinated with your work commitments in mind. Thus programming can be scheduled with inbuilt reflection days to allow you to participate both in the workshop and within your workplace with a minimum of disruption to both.
