The Three Stages of Mentoring

Stage 1

* Stage one is the startup phase is the initial meeting and laying the foundation for the relationship.

*Creation of a trusting relationship requires time and dedicated service.

*The first stage would be done through a meet & greet, ice breakers, and various events to stimulate the mentee.

Stage 2

*The second stage can last a few months or a few years, depending on how the relationships unfolds.

*It is during this stage that the mentor/mentee begin to discover the real benefits of the relationship they are developing.

*The mentor will provide coaching, be an advocate and cheerleader for the mentee.

Stage 3

* The third stage is a stage of Independence/ dependence.

* The mentor/mentee may grow apart at this stage or require further mentoring from another source.

* Independence involves mentee being able to move forward from high school, and still have a healthy relationship with mentor.

*Dependant mentee may need additional support for further development.
