Concepts, terms and types by Gerlinde Hacker ( WoMentor )
Checklist for practical methods Depending on the aims and particularities of a mentoring programme, these methods may be taken into account with their uses varying widely. Hereafter, a non-exhaustive list of methods that have been used by one or more of our member organisations with great success: Role play in training e.g. how to ask open questions to mentees Personality profiling – for example, use of psychometric testing to measure personality traits of mentors and mentees to support the matching process. Drawing, for example use of mind maps with the mentor and mentee in training and also throughout the mentoring relationship to illustrate issues / challenges / opportunities SWOT analysis – can help to test mentee interests and plans (Personal SWOT) or to analyse mentee business from different aspects Focus group – for example, bringing together a focus group of mentors or mentees at the end of a mentoring programme to evaluate successes within a programme Reframing Conflict management tools Supervision Art therapy: Art therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses art materials, such as paints, chalk and markers, clay, wood or other.
