How Mentoring Works

How Do Mentoring Sessions Work?

Mentoring is tailored to your individual experiences, goals and level of ability for mindful awareness.  Sessions are based on a continual process of assessment, goal setting, action steps and back to assessment. You can choose to work individually or as part of a group.


INDIVIDUAL MENTORING

Individual mentoring takes place in the comfort of your home, your office or other place that is your own comfort zone.  It may also be done via Skype or phone.Individual sessions are optimal when they are held two times a month.

 

GROUP MENTORING

Group meetings are held monthly or bi monthly.  I’ve found that these frequencies allow us to properly track and support the realization of your plans.

How Does Group Mentoring Work?

Group coaching is done by web/or telephone conferencing,  as well as on site conferences or seminars.   Web groups are coached on a weekly basis for 50 minutes per call (40 times a year). Each group consists of people of all ages but with the same goal. The commitment is open-ended in the same manner as individual coaching. Some advantages of group coaching are the creation of a support system, deep self-awareness, a safe environment for constructive feedback and multiple perspectives.  Participants focus on individual and mutual goals, how to achieve them and accountability.

How Long Is the Process?

Mentoring deals with your intentional and mindful awareness of the emotional, physical and associative nueuronal re-circuitry that is necessary for lasting change in your unwanted lifestyle habits, attitudes, thoughts or behaviors.  This does not happen overnight and indeed takes many days, up to 90 or 180 days or more.  

 

Some clients make mentoring an integral part of their life. But perhaps right now you are only seeking help for a specific situation. That’s fine. We recommend no less than a three month commitment in order to achieve lasting change.
