Assessment Description
In the templated assignments for Topics 1-3, you completed a
majority of what will comprise the "Individual Development
Plan" for your mentee. At this point, you will select two
activities to implement with your mentee based on the list of
proposed activities identified in the Topic 3 "Proposed
Activities and Techniques" assignment submission.
The purpose of this assignment is to select and implement two
activities to use with your mentee, document your use of them
with your mentee, and then reflect on the mentee's progress. For
this assignment, review the "IDP - Implementation of the
Individual Development Plan" template, complete it, and submit
it as directed. This template covers the following sections:
Selection of Activities
The two activities can be related to the same discipline or you
can try and introduce separate activities that work on separate
areas of growth. For example, if your mentee is working on
listening skills, you can have the mentee create a written
description of personal experiences with listening over the past
few weeks. This would allow you to use techniques to redirect
the mentee's listening behavior during certain experiences. In
addition, you could task the mentee with the opportunity to
engage in a listening activity with another coworker or friend.
This scenario could utilize some of the techniques you provided
based on results from the first activity.
Documentation of Applied Activities
You need to evaluate your current mentoring experience and
apply activities that will benefit your learning experience and
your mentee's mentoring experience. Include an evaluation of
strategic activities they can employ in their current climate of
learning and development within their organization.
You will have the next 2 weeks to complete this portion of your

2. assignment. The activity can be a written requirement, physical
requirement, or an activity that initiates a behavioral change
over a predetermined timeframe. As your mentee is working
through the activity, monitor the progress and utilize any
coaching or mentoring techniques necessary to guide your
mentee to be successful.
You must spend a minimum of 3 hours monitoring and working
with your mentee for each activity. If you are in a location that
prevents conducting the activity face-to-face, please use
technology or additional resources to ensure you are providing a
positive coaching and mentoring experience for your mentee.
Reflection on Progress and Meeting Long-Term Goals
Complete a 250–500-word reflection on the information you
have obtained through the monitoring process. Be sure to
identify your selected activities and include your rationale for
selecting them based on the mentee's behavioral and/or skill
goals. Address any circumstances that required flexibility or
adaptability. Determine how the activities will also meet the
mentee's long-term goals. This could consist of a performance
indicator chart along with a brief explanation of the current
status in the coaching/mentoring process.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is
expected.

LDR-612: IDP _ Proposed Activities and Techniques
Name:
Shane Goodreau

3. Mentee Name:
Activities to Meet Short-Term Goals
1. To support Brandon’s demonstration of growth in self-
awareness and understanding of how his actions and decisions
can affect others and the organization, Branden will write 12
journals over a 12-week period. The first three journals will
address the decisions and resulting actions Brandon took that
ended with his UN professional behavior and how those actions
affected himself, his teammates, and the organization. The
following nine journals will address an ethical or behavioral
decision that Brandon is faced with each week, what influenced
his decision, and how that decision impacts his organization.
2. To support the three confidence boosting opportunities,
Brandon will provide a
presentation to different work sections. His presentation will be
focused on what he learned as a result of his self-reflection
through his first three journals. During his presentation he will
work to speak with confidence and sincerity.
3. To support Brandon’s goal of improving his positive
influence across his organization, Brandon has determined to do
the following activities: First, Brandon will organize a
community outreach event focused on providing for the needs of
others. Second, he will select and read a weekly article on
positive inspirational leadership. He will then send a weekly
email to his organization summarizing the leadership topic and
providing relevant reflection and understanding. This initial
email campaign is intended to provide an avenue with which
Brandon can offer positive influence across his organization
outside of a formal leadership position.
Activities to Meet Long-Term Goals

4. 1. Brandon has lacked a balance of loyalty and as such, needs to
find balance between himself and his coworkers. To support this
goal, Brandon will develop a calendar of events by prioritizing
mandatory and voluntary vents that are critical to developing
relationships, through which he will develop a workforce
balance.
2. To support Brandon’s goal to create a positive environment
and foster pride within his unit and team, he will seek out a
formal leadership position that contributes directly to influence
unit pride and culture. Through this position he will have direct
influence over activities and policies that will be conducive to
unit culture and pride.
3. With the inevitability of younger coworkers making similar
mistakes he has elected to identify a younger coworker and
mentor them through the same process. This activity is planned
to take place within the next year while the newly found skill
set is still fresh in his mind.
Coaching Techniques (to support the predetermined activities)
1. Cognitive Behavioral Coaching (CBC), Kathrine Minzlaff
(2019) will be my go to coaching technique “To facilitate goal
attainment, CBC adopts a dual systems approach where both
behavioral and psychological interventions are considered
crucial and instrumental in achieving coaching goals (Neenan,
2008)” (Minzlaff, 2019, p. 21). Being mindful that people can
have behaviors that are counterproductive, coaches should move
to psychological intervention of CBC within the Integrative
Coaching Model (Minzlaff, 2019). These techniques will be
utilized to aid Brandon in productive thoughts and behaviors
and stay on track with his goals.

5. 2. I will be Combining Cognitive Behavioral Coaching and
Gestalt principles in coaching due to their ability to emerge
together. Dr. Jamie Morin (2016) submits that the International
Coach Federation’s (ICF) definition of coaching and Gestalt
principles emerge nicely together.
Mentoring Techniques (to support the predetermined activities)
1. Initially I will employ mindful mentoring, while conducting
knee cap to knee cap mentoring. “Mindfulness is described as
‘awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in
the present moment, non-judgmentally’ (Foundation for a
Mindful Society, 2015, para. 3)” (Trube, 2017, p. 160). In this
relationship, mentees should “practice mindfulness by observing
their own experiences rather than being dominated by them
(Groom, 2009, p. 95)” (Trube, 2017, p. 161). By using mindful
techniques, I hope to achieve open and honest dialogue
addressing approaches, values, insights and understanding.
2. The secondary mentoring technique that I will employ is e-
mentoring. As our shifts do not always line up, so this will
allow mentorship to be conducted. I also anticipate that there
may be times that we will not be able to meet face-to-face. Due
to these circumstances, he will email his journals to me so that I
will be able to review them and provide feedback.
Additionally, I will be moving to a new position, which will
require that we continue this mentor/mentee relationship using
e-mentoring systems. Ragins and Kram (2007) mention the three
types of e-mentoring “CMC-only, CMC-primary, and CMC-
supplemental” (p.300). I anticipate using CMC-supplemental in
the beginning stages of this relationship, and then I anticipate
moving to CMC-only as I move to my new position.
Summary of Differences Between Coaching and Mentoring
Techniques

6. Coaching is more performance based and utilized to enhance
one’s ability to perform on the job. To stimulate them to open
up their mind and inspire them to maximize their personal and
professional potential.
Mentoring is more of a trusted adviser, someone who is senior
within the company or has a better knowledge base that can
mold a new employee and put them on the pathway to success.
