Mentorship is a rewarding experience that presents the opportunity to give back while strengthening leadership and coaching skills. Collaboration creates a strong community and makes for amazing learning!

- Is a protege
- Is more senior
- Is older
- Tells you what to do and how to do it.
- Has a lot in common with you.
- And, you are either a mentor or mentee.

The more modern paradigm suggests:
The mentee seeks mentors;
Mentors may be younger;
Difference provides potential for greater discovery, challenge and growth;
Mentoring is for anyone, at any stage if life;
A mentor is a sounding board;
Mentors assist your decision-making and problem-solving;
You can be both a mentor and a mentee.

A lesson is a journey, and the

journey plan starts from the
knowledge of the final destination.

Questions stimulate thought, analysis and resolution 
in the mentee, and this stimulation is the mentor’s:
- Was that challenging? 
- Was that an appropriate example? 
- Did you model that task? 
- How could that have been better explained? 
- How did that connect to the previous task? 
- Was your language appropriate at that point? 
- Would Ginny have reacted differently if you’d 
allowed more choice? 
- How many types of question did you use in that 
lesson? 
- Where were the management danger points in 
- How did you get that degree of cooperation? 
What should you do next lesson?

Mentoring online can offer us some great new opportunities as it decouples to a certain extent the constraints of time and location with our mentoring practice. This provides a variety of opportunities, some of which Maria Jesus and Rachel outline in the videos below. However, as with anything, there are also downsides and things to watch out for if mentoring online is to be successful which Maria Jesus and Rachel address. Take a look, and then consider if and how mentoring online would make sense in your own context.
