POWERFUL PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT TOOL
1. POWERFUL PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT TOOL
Do you want to know about personal development? Anthony Todd Johnson provides
personal development for people to assess their skills and qualities.
Practised in the United States and Canada since the 1970s in all spheres of society
(schools, universities, companies, associations, etc.) as Anthony Todd Johnson
explained. Mentoring (or mentoring) has developed alongside coaching in a context
of multiple crises (economic, employment, crisis of meaning, etc.) which have given
rise to an increased need for support. It is in full expansion in Europe and Asia today
because it corresponds to the needs of a society in profound change aspiring to
more sharing, exchanges between peers, collaborative commons, mutual aid
networks favoured by the digital expansion.
It is a tool for professional and personal development. It is a career accelerator
The values
of mentoring
Mentoring is characterised by strong values, essential to the success of a program
and the development of the participants:
Volunteering and the free choice of “mentor” and “mentee”
2. ● Independence and confidentiality. The mentor does not report to anyone
and is in no way subject to an obligation of results.
● The pair works freely, without outside gaze. It is even essential that it be
“outside the hierarchy”.
● Free between pairs. Neither the mentor nor the mentee are paid, but the
organisation of the mentoring relationship has a cost.
Characteristics of mentoring
According to Anthony Todd Johnson mentoring in organisations is based on the
organisation of a supportive and voluntary relationship between experienced “
mentors ” and “ mentees ” or “ mentees ” seeking listening, support or development.
It is a reciprocal exchange where everyone has something to share. The less
experienced mentee gains time and confidence thanks to his mentor and the mentor
sees his skills recognized and his knowledge challenged by his mentee.
The essential dimension of this form of support is to value individuals, to create links
in the organisation and to promote individual and collective performance.
Mentoring can be “informal” when you choose your own mentor for your personal
accomplishment, but it is often “organised” or “formalised” (we then speak of
mentoring programs) to contribute to the well-being of individuals and to the
performance of organisations. The implementation of the programs requires real
engineering which must be supported internally and piloted throughout the process.
The Principles of Mentoring by Anthony Todd Johnson
Mentoring is based on exchange and permanent learning within a pair. One of the
participants will have more to offer the other at the beginning, but the direction of this
exchange will often be reversed.
3. It promotes the circulation of ideas and creativity within the pairs which act as active
cells.
Mentoring creates spaces in companies where employees are free from any
managerial interference. It does not have performance as its direct objective, but it
promotes it nonetheless.
Who is Mentoring for?
Mentoring in companies and organisations is for everyone: high potentials,
executives, employees, women, people from diverse backgrounds, young people,
seniors, etc.
It can be set up in all types of structures: associations, public or private institutions,
companies, etc.
It can be offered to a few people or to a large number of people at the same time.
Anthony Todd Johnson is a Master Coach/ and Course Director, he has given
mentorship to many companies. Thanks to his mentoring, a business leader can
therefore improve his leadership and better decision-making.
