MOVING TO SUSTAINABILITY
The next step is to embed this process encouraging the mentee to bring together their perceptions, reasoning, emotions and aligning this to their goals. This is itself can pose a trap (Kets de Vries and Korotov 2007) for mentees if they have not integrated a critical learning approach to their complex problem solving situations. If they have not, then the outcome is nothing better than surface learning characterised by double loop learning where they become puzzled and wedged between different viewpoints, assumptions and conflict. Things become “undiscussible” (that is not up for discussion either implicitly or explicitly) enforcing one or other to suppress their voice, to silence them and to feel intimidated. The mentor through the mentoring process assists mentees question their repeated thoughts and actions so that they can untangle themselves from this self-defeating spiral. Avoiding or ignoring it will not resolve this problem. A dynamic reflective process between mentee and mentor establishes a framework for deep learning, assisting the mentee to making sense of their challenges, which ultimately provides greater insights regarding their intra and interpersonal conflicts.
Resilient mentoring is aimed at critical and flexible learning and is an advantage for mentees in that it provides them with a process for delving into issues and problems that they encounter. The process allows mentees to foster within them an approach to change their
In order to build up resilience, a student must learn to support themselves and seek support from others. A student that supports themselves can lead themselves into a better future because they are learning through experience. For example, Lori in The Glass Castle wanted to get out of West Virginia and move to New York. She was tired of living in a house that had no food, no running water, and was falling apart. Lori believed that she could save enough money for herself so that she could go live in New York. Unfortunately, her father took the money that they earned to move to New York. An unexpected opportunity opened up for Jeannette that would get her sister out of West Virginia (Walls 218). They both got jobs to support the destination they were planning to go. This shows that when a student supports themselves they can accomplish the goals that they have set for themselves, like how Lori and
In order to develop resilience children and young people need firm foundations including; Trusting relationships, Structure and rules ,Good role models,
An advantage of mentoring is that it helps to acclimatise less successful workers to the job and organisational requirements. By having a "go to" person to ask questions, discuss scenarios and generally learn the nuances of the company, the mentee can become a productive member much more quickly and never feel that he has nowhere to turn for help. The mentee can gain the sense of achievement that comes from the mentor's feedback and assessment of his progress. The mentee's quest to gain the mentor's approval can serve as a motivating force to continue to improve his performance. The mentor can gain satisfaction from knowing that she is helping an individual and can take a measure of pride in her accomplishments. For a mentor that has already achieved a great deal of success, she can look at the process as a way of "giving back”.
The mentors in this scenario are clear examples of coping models. The mentors all came from the same neighborhood and faced similar challenges as the students in the probation program. The mentors are able to share their experiences and how they worked hard to overcome certain obstacles in order to be successful. Since there are face to face meetings, the mentors can even show some of the strategies they used to solve a problem, especially academically. For example, the mentor might be able to help students who struggle with math come up with ways that will help them solve a particular problem. By not showing them how to solve the problem, but instead teaching them how to find ways to solve it that works for them, critical thinking skills are reinforced and self-efficacy for learning is instilled. The students are more likely to appreciate the results of hard work when they hear relatable stories, apply what they learned, and then achieve success themselves.
Resilience is often an indicator of future success as an adult and can help to protect children against emotional and behavioural problems etc
Coaching and mentoring are not about learning to do something the right way, but are about helping to lead an individual to find their own way of doing it practically and efficiently. Coaching and mentoring sessions are guided with theoretical models, which help focus both the coach and the coachee in attaining desired outcomes for problem situations. However, even with the aid of theoretical models not everyone can coach another person. The first and far most important attribute of a coach is the ability to build relationships with the coachee
Mentors are influential, senior organizational members with advanced experience and knowledge committed to providing perception to a mentee’s career development. A mentor supports a mentee’s views of self within a work role as well as it supports the mentor’s sense of self for the valuable wisdom and experience they have to share.

"Mentoring is a special quality, skill set and attitude," she says. "The benefits are not only between the mentor and mentee, but the future generations."
This essay will start by defining mentoring, and giving a brief understanding of mentoring. This essay will then go on to identify and evaluate a number of key factors that may influence the effectiveness of a mentoring relationship. This essay will focus on the example of mentoring within schools and a learning mentor to be more specific.
Mentors have an important role in ensuring the acquisition of knowledge obtained at university translates into competency in practice and does not lead to the 'theory practice gap' described by Cope et al (2000). Mentors have to consolidate the knowledge taught in university into practice in the learning environment and allow the student to reflect on their performance and experiences.
Learing new activity can improve own knowledge, skills and understanding, learning activities can improve an individual’s knowledge, skills and understanding by providing us with new ideas , such as something we may have never encountered before. Learning activities also gives the severs users new areas of learning, such as topics or courses that they haven’t encountered before or something that they haven’t previously covered, and courses on things that can make the job easier , or even legally required courses that produce great new areas of learning that allows us to perform our job role , such as manual handling or medication training .it also enables us to apply theories or ideas into practice and discovered if they are successful in doing what we intend them to , which in turn is great in developing ourselves confidence .confidence is often the key in making strides with a difficult individual or even with self improvement and with being confidence it allows us to learn at an easier pace , which also develops our skills into more tangible tools that we understand .reflecting on a situation can improve knowledge , skills and understanding reflecting on a situation can improve on individual greatly by providing personal insight on a subject , which leads to better understanding of a topic , we can reflect on how well we performed and I what way our performance could be improved. By reflecting we can examine how effective our practice is by thinking about people’s reactions to us. About how there may have been other outcomes, and how to reach those outcomes, eliminating the bad paths and highlighting the more positives conclusions in hope of reaching them the next time we are face with the same
The resilience methodology seeks to build on strengths and strengthen the supports and opportunities of the child. Resilience plays a vital role in assisting a child in settling into a new placement, without experiencing major emotional difficulties. Three factors that promote resilience are secure base, Self-esteem and Self-efficacy(Grotberg, 2000). These can be influenced by positive experiences on a daily basis, some which will be highlighted throughout the assignment.
Mentoring for the mentor is about challenging himself to perform to greater capabilities while nurturing a mentee and stretching them to realise their full potential. Mentors counsel, tutor and guide their mentees in developing themselves.
One thing I believe is a necessity in growing up is having a mentor. Having a mentor is, not only, beneficial for the mentee but also the mentor. Being a mentor is a learning experience for everyone participating, it helps people grow as a person and friendships are created when a bond if formed. Some people might think it's a waste of time for a child or that it'll never work out for a troubled delinquent but based on the research I've done, I have proven them wrong. Through-out this paper I will provide the pros and cons of mentoring and how they affect both mentor and mentee. To back up my proposal that mentoring is supporting, I will supply examples to answer the question: Is mentoring really important?
