Discussion with fellow mentors has helped to clarify some confusion on the pacing to leading structure. Gaining an awareness of the different states of mind is useful and essential to mentoring. The discussions and examples shared help us to be more confident in identifying the mentee’s state of mind and allowed us to have a common language. Thank you, Rahayu for the sharing that’s full of love!

State of mind is important when we have reflection session with mentee. The vocabulary helps us to better understand or verbalise the difficulties that the mentor and the mentee are facing. The different states of mind are closely related as well in certain situations.

It is important to use appropriate mentoring language to have an enriching mentoring sessions with our mentees. Ours and the mentees states of mind are crucial in order to carry out the pacing and leading sessions with our mentees. It is pertinent to remember not to ask leading questions during a pacing session. We must be ready to be flexible and switch our intervention strategies according to the entry levels of our mentees for each nentoring session.

Complex situations are challenging. With the five states of mind, we become more focused in our conversations as we lead our mentees.

That said, as ST LT we can play our role and influence others eg in our dept if we sense negativity.

When situations are tough, we want to win them over and gain their trust in a different way. Pacing - Giving them time to say how they feel and what they are thinking is very important to bridge our relationship... Using sentence prompts instead of questions is less intimidating. Once they feel more comfortable then we can enter the leading/ mentoring phase with harmony. Ultimately, we want to achieve a win-win situation.
