ENHANCING MANUAL FOR INCOMPANY TRAINERS IN SMES
E-module III. Transversal Skills
Activity 2: Open Quizz
- For this exercise the mentors will have to answer questions about the mentees, trying to understand them and communicate with them more effectively.
Examples of questions: what do the mentees feel like when they are
being yelled at? What exactly is going through their mind? What do they want to do afterwards?
Discuss the different types of personalities a mentor can encounter and the best way of dealing with each. How can you bring out the best qualities in a team? Other questions may include more specific situations. You can use an example of a real situation at the workplace, involving the mentors and their mentees. It can also be a memory of the mentors when they were mentees themselves.
What happened? Why? The participants must now ask questions such as “Why?” and “How?” to try and explain the situation the best they can.
After the implementation of the above Guidelines and Exercises it is important that participants enter a process of self-evaluation regarding the skills they have acquired, to what extent they conquered them, they could have done or thought better which would help them, in what other cases may be helped by a corresponding skill etc.
