THE 3 C'S OF

MENTORING

1. Consult

This involves the mentoring sharing their wisdom and

knowledge with the mentee in order to help them overcome

problems or bring them forward with their own learning and

skills. It is important that the mentor listen to the mentees’

concerns and provide guidance based on their level of

expertise and knowledge.

2. Collaborate

This is essentially a joint relationship

and involves the mentor and mentee

working together to achieve specific goals and objectives. The

mentor will always encourage his or her mentee to share any

concerns problems they have, and they can then solve them in

a collaborative fashion. Similarly, by sharing perspectives or

inspirations a mentee can benefit from the experience of the

mentor and they can work together to bring their ideas to life.
