good place to start is with the M*O*R*E
workshop. In this workshop the

of introducing mentoring to the organization learn the guidelines and
criteria required to design, initiate and implement a successful mentoring
process identify elements in place that are supporting successful
mentoring initiative
The
M*O*R*E workshop is designed to allow organizations to preview the concept
of Mentoring as a developmental process and then determine if:
1.
mentoring
is or is not a viable option within the organization.
2.
mentoring
is not a viable option within the organization.
3.
mentoring
is not a viable option now, but will be in the future – how do we get
ready?
4.
mentoring
is a viable option now and we want to proceed -- how do we do that?
The
investment in the workshop format can save many hours and expense by
providing information that is needed to proceed in an organized fashion or
to determine not to proceed at all.
The
delivery of the course work by the facilitator will provide a balance
between brief lectures, discussions and exercises. Ample time is allowed
for questioning and interaction as necessary.
