Becoming a Mentor: A Video-Based Workshop

Author

• Dr. Norman H. Cohen

Key Features

Becoming a Mentor includes six videos, Leader’s Guide and one Participant Workbook
for $795.00, or you can receive it as an included item with the Complete Mentoring Program for $995.00. Additional Workbooks are $39.95 each

This is a ready-to-use video workshop in and of itself, as well as being a component of the Complete Mentoring Program. Although the primary audience will be mentors and mentees, the video will serve as a very useful introduction to acquaint others with the complete mentor role, such as executives, coordinators of programs, supervisors of mentees, and administrative personnel.

The video can be shown as a general overview, as well as presented in modules during continuing training seminars in order to study the six dimensions as separate behavioral functions.

Specific Value for Mentors
As a method of learning, the video specifically:

• Highlights the key concept and essential mentor behaviors of each separate mentoring dimension
• Demonstrates the complete mentor role by portraying mentors simulating all six mentoring interpersonal dimensions
• Illustrates that the complete mentor role is a balanced approach which mentors can learn and apply to developing mentoring relationships
• Emphasizes both verbal and nonverbal mentor behaviors
• Communicates the critical point that adult mentoring is an evolving process of active and reflective learning, not just a series of separate, unrelated, or fragmented meetings
• Creates realistic scenes of mentor-mentee interaction based on principles of adult mentoring advocated in HRD materials

Specific Value for Mentees
Mentees will be able to share in simulated mentoring experiences by:

• Observing competent professionals utilizing the specific behavioral skills required of mentors
• Watching informed mentees responding appropriately to the interpersonal behaviors of effective mentors
• Seeing mentees performing in the critical role of collaborative partners

Integrated Source of Learning
To ensure instructional consistency a direct conceptual linkage has been established and maintained among three components:

• The mentoring terminology/descriptions provided in the HRD printed materials
• The actual scenes portraying mentor–mentee interpersonal contact
• The mentoring behavioral codes included in the Participant Workbook of the video

The uniform pattern of information ensures that Becoming a Mentor, the Participant Workbook, and all the components of the Complete Mentoring Program can be smoothly and effectively integrated into training workshops, as well as easily accessed by individuals or mentoring pairs who are using these materials to pursue self-directed learning activities.
