On Wed Jan 26, members of CTI Toastmasters attended a lively workshop on how to develop strong mentoring relationships. Val spoke about what she has enjoyed most about mentoring and Marc spoke about what a mentor can do to help a member improve his/her speaking skills. Darlene walked the group through some of the benefits of developing the BEST mentoring relationship. BEST = Build, Establish, Support, Transform.
Attendees at the workshop found out that the mentee is the person "driving the bus", the person that determines how fast to go, which direction to go and what success will look like. The mentor guides, supports, coaches and shares knowledge and experiences so that progress is faster and easier.
Darlene emphasized that the mentor doesn't have to know everything. We are experts in only 5 or 6 things at best. It is OK to call upon another seasoned Toastmaster for help.
Everyone agreed that CTI should have a Transformation Celebration in June to celebrate the end of the current partnership agreements, the successes and achievements and acknowledge all the volunteers. A party! Sounds great!
