Micro-mentoring - mentor and mentee

A Celebration of Mentoring

How’s your year going?  Off to a good start? Do you have your intentions set for 2023? If not, contact me, and let’s have a “micro-mentoring” session.

The month of January was Mentoring Month. I’ve mentored many people and am introducing a new Mentoring Concept in my practice.

Micro Mentoring

Have you run across a problem that you would like to talk about with a Mentor? One time, 45 minutes? That’s possible with me.

Micro-mentoring Usually occurs within a few hours or days.

Micro-Mentoring vs Traditional Mentoring

Short-term or a single session

Requires a small time commitment

Focused on short-term objectives

Revolving around a specific topic, skill or project

Long-term relationship (three months to a year)

Requires continued time commitment

Focused on long-term objectives

Revolving around personal growth and development

Benefits

Provides exposure to different people

Is suitable for anyone in different career’

The knowledge is transferred in bite-sized segments

Enhances collaboration and performance

Improves engagement and retention

Best Practices

Understand your employees’ needs

Promote micro-mentoring initiatives

Educate people about how to engage in micro-mentoring

Tips for Mentors

Before the session review mentee’s goals and objectives 

During the session pay attention to non-verbal cues

Follow up

Tips for Mentees

Evaluate your goals

Be open-minded

Follow up

Micro-mentoring is one of a number of new programs I’m implementing in 2023. We can meet virtually or in person. I hope that I will hear from you.
