5 Types of Modern Mentoring That Can Benefit Your OrganizationKatie Mouton
Modern mentoring goes beyond the traditional one-to-one mentoring model that has been adapted through the years. Traditional mentoring is still popular, but with the increasing number of millennials joining the workforce, organizations are beginning to include more contemporary forms of mentoring. These programs embrace a new approach where everyone is considered equal, rather than senior or junior, and the mentoring environments are more casual or even virtual.
In this webinar, we discussed 5 modern mentoring concepts that can facilitate learning within your organization that is more agile and allows for a larger possibility of knowledge sharing.
Flash Mentoring – How does it work?
Virtual Mentoring – What are the pros and cons?
Group Mentoring – Advantages and Disadvantages.
Reverse Mentoring- How to make this relationship successful.
Speed Mentoring- How is it beneficial?
The report on corporate mentorship reveals why most companies are failing to unlock the potential of their employees through mentorship. This report identifies where most companies are failing and provides insight on best practice to make mentorship better. The study was conducted across more than 50 leading North American companies
One of the keys to student success is mentoring. This is especially true for underrepresented students who may not have the social structure that provides role models and intellectual and emotional supports that students need to succeed. Mentoring provides this infrastructure and fills in gaps in knowledge and access to available resources which many underrepresented students need.

Building coaching through a mentorship programDan Neumann
Building agile coaching skills isn't the exclusive domain of a multi-day training session. In fact, the best way to build a new skills is to gradually introduce them over time and use intentional practice to build those new skills into a habit.

Come join us as we examine three areas of personal and professional growth for the emerging leader. In this workshop led by Ken Miller, CFRE we will examine the differences between mentorship, sponsorship and coaching for your continued life-long growth and learning. With break out moments, group work and partner work we will look at effective mentorship, sponsorship and coaching.
We will look at “what does it look like?”, “what is the role of the mentor, sponsor or coach” and most importantly what can I do to be most effective as the mentee, sponsee or coached? We will also learn how to find these individuals, making the “ask” for their assistance, building the relationship for success.

Many fear going up front to speak, present, chair, facilitate etc. more than that they are usually not organized, prepared or systematic. This kills their confidence and invariably the effectiveness of facilitation
This set of slides just adds to the knowledge and skills of facilitation. The literature is ample and the sources of such information are overwhelming too. hope this little contribution shall help the weaker presenters.

What are some of the differences between attitudes and beliefs, .docxtwilacrt6k5
What are some of the differences between "attitudes" and "beliefs," as described in Ch. 4 of the text? Must be atleast 300 words!!!
Please use the reading material below!!
The primary message of this chapter can be summarized by the Boy Scout motto “Be prepared!” Have you ever spent an hour or two at a group or team meeting only to find out no one was ready to make a meaningful, informed contribution? Many wasted meetings boil down to the fact that group members just haven’t done their homework. GIGO is the acronym that computer programmers use for the expression “Garbage in, garbage out.” If you put poor information (garbage) into a computer program, you get poor results as output. It works the same way in group discussions.1 To achieve a quality decision, a group needs quality information gleaned from research as well as effective reasoning and critical-thinking skills.2 In this chapter we delve into the processes by which groups accomplish their work and achieve their goals. We’ll discuss how to prepare effectively for a group discussion and how to use research and critical-thinking skills to enhance the quality of the work accomplished by group members. The Greek philosopher Socrates believed that the primary goal of dialogue and discussion was the search for truth. Today, group discussion continues to be a trusted method of seeking answers to tough questions. Our legal system is based on the idea that a jury of adults, after hearing evidence and using their best critical-thinking and analysis skills, should be able to decide whether someone is guilty of a crime. In corporations, teams and task forces hammer out key decisions. Regardless of a group’s composition, goal, or context, its discussion will be more productive if group members have prepared and if they know how to critically evaluate information used to reach reasoned conclusions.3 How to Develop a Discussion Plan Imagine the instructor in your group communication class has assigned you to a group or committee, perhaps, so that you can make a recommendation, solve a problem, or make a decision. What should you do first? How would you develop a plan to get your work accomplished? What should you not do? It’s tempting for members to jump in with both feet and start deciding what to do without adequate research or preparation. The most effective groups develop a plan for accomplishing their goal. Groups are more likely to deliberate wisely and effectively if group members clarify their goals, have good discussion skills, and are motivated to do a good job.4 Suggesting solutions or making final recommendations at your first meeting is not a good idea. Effective groups prepare for discussion.5 We’ll outline the general parts of a discussion plan and then spend the rest of the chapter describing these strategies in detail. Get Acquainted with Your Group Members “Let’s get down to business,” “What are we supposed to do,” and “Get to the point” are typical statements heard at most f.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

INTRODUCTION
The starting points of groupwork are the pre-group contacts
made between facilitator and group members as well as the
opening moments of a group session itself. It is in these
moments of contact that the group seeks answers to
whether they will be controlled or manipulated. These are
also the crucial exchanges when the facilitator can set the
framework and tone for a truly open atmosphere of group
working.

WHAT GROUPS?
Facilitation works best in groups which are mature enough
to take control of their own processes but still need to be
guided by a group leader to work through the issues that
matter to them.
The following are examples of different types of facilitation
sessions...
1. two people taking marriage guidance counselling
2. personal skills training such as facilitation itself
3. team-building in a team that wants to improve their
effectiveness
4. multi-party problem-solving, for example the Northern
Ireland peace process
5. mediating grievances and disputes
6. re-organisation processes where new teams are being
formed.

GROUP MEMBERSHIP
While some members of a group select themselves because
of the sponsor's requirements (for example, an organisation
may want all assistant managers to be in the group), there
are advantages in selecting a group based on what works
best for the group.
For example, groups are not so effective when they are too
alike nor when they are too disparate. When members are
too alike, there is often insufficient contention to stimulate
group energy. On the other hand, when members are too
dissimilar, there is the risk of insufficient contact.
One useful rule of thumb is that the group mix should be
similar enough to be compatible and disparate enough to be
stimulating. Compatible characteristics include: age, gender
and professional status; disparate characteristics include:
background, social interests and skills.

PRE-GROUP CONTACT
Once it has been decided to put a group together, some
initial plans need to be made. This is the "terra firma" of
groupwork, the only area that is fixed.
"Terra firma" plans might include...
1. your sponsor's objectives and success criteria
2. times, lengths and number of meetings
3. location of meetings
4. membership of the group
5. size of the group
6. resources available to you
7. who is to facilitate; who is to lead and co-lead?
8. methods of evaluation of group progress.

THE INVITATION
The first contact between facilitator and group members is
likely to be the invitation to attend. This can be made
personally or in writing. No invitation will undoubtedly lead
to increased anxiety and negative feelings.
The right tone can be set in an invitation by...
1. giving full information about the session so that
participants have no fears about what to expect. This
can include names of others who are to attend.
2. setting high but manageable expectations of what is to
be achieved and relating these to individual needs
3. alluding to your previous experience in running
successful groupwork.

DEAR MARY
A formal message of welcome before the group meets can
set the right tone.
Dear Mary,
We look forward to seeing you at our team-building session
for members of the new Health Department on Wednesday
next week at the Conference centre.
As you know, the Company's re-organisation of your
department aims to produce a greater degree of customer
service through more efficient working. The team-building
sessions are a vital first step in this exciting programme. All
the joining instructions, together with a list of other
participants, are enclosed.
We also include a personal self-assessment exercise for you
to do and bring with you. I think you will find it useful for
the work we plan to do. If you have any questions, concerns
or comments about the sessions, please feel free to ring me
or come and see me.

BEFORE YOU COME
Contacting group members before they come to the group
meeting can set the right tone and outline pre-group
preparation.
Read this before you come to the group...
1. Check the administrative arrangements at least a week
before you come and again a few days before. Go and
put reminders in your diary NOW.
2. Think what you want to get out of the groupwork. Jot
down your expectations now; do this again in a few days
time.
3. Discuss what you hope to gain with other people whose
opinions you value, such as your manager, your
colleagues.
4. Assess where you are now in your personal
development and where you would like to be.
5. Come with a positive attitude and you'll get the most
from the work we plan to do.

GROUP SIZE
When planning a group, consideration needs to be given to
whether you want a small group or a large group.
Small groups provide...
• more chance to join in
• more likelihood of agreement
• more intimacy and support
• more satisfaction.
Large groups provide...
• more varied relationships
• more interesting and creative solutions to problems
• more need for rules and direction
• more time to solve problems.
Seven is thought to be the best number to enjoy the
benefits of small and large groups and to have meaningful
interaction with everyone else in the group.

LARGE GROUPS
Groups of more than 12 to 15 members present different
kinds of challenges for facilitators than smaller groups.
Members of a large group have more difficulty in feeling
they belong with the result that there are likely to be more
passive members in a large group than in a small group.
People often feel a greater need to prevent their
individuality being swamped in a large group. To stop this
happening, they may mentally withdraw and wish they were
somewhere else or put on an eloquent performance in
discussions.
A curious change that takes place in large groups is that
those who are confident in small groups can withdraw and
the insensitive can appear rational and intelligent. In small
groups it is harder to get in touch with how you feel, in large
groups with what you think.

CLOSED GROUPWORK
The first look at the setting and seating arrangements in the
meeting room will indicate whether you are in for a closed
session or an open one.
These are the signs of closed groupwork:
1. an enclosed, overlooked, tightly-packed, claustrophobic
setting
2. a greeting that is high on prohibitions, warnings, and
"don'ts"
3. defensive seating patterns (ie a barrier between group
and facilitator)
4. name tags with titles on
5. name plates indicating where the group must sit
6. a high level of formality in the way people speak to one
another
7. a separate area for the group leader.

OPEN GROUPWORK
These are the visible signs of open groupwork:
1. a personal greeting that is high on welcome, making
things easy, making things possible
2. a welcoming, relaxed feel, indicated possibly by the use
of background music, the smell of fresh flowers, the
sight of bright colourful posters, including a Welcoming
one
3. someone knows you're coming
4. a “Welcome!” by name
5. no unnecessary hurry
6. an open seating plan that allows people to sit how and
where they like with no barriers between members or
between members and group leader.
Horse-shoe shaped seating patterns with the group leader
at one end (and slightly apart) indicate that everyone has an
equal part to play with everyone else.

WELCOMES
The first session of groupwork is the moment of social and
psychological birth for the group. It can start with a formal
welcome by the facilitator followed by members introducing
themselves.
This exercise can be nerve-wracking for many people so
follow these guidelines...
1. if people don't know each other well, it is safest to ask
them to introduce themselves while the rest listen in
2. if people know each other on a formal basis only, you
might suggest they introduce each other to the rest of
the group
3. if people know each other well at an informal level, you
might suggest an icebreaker.
At the end of their introductions, you can introduce yourself
in an informal, friendly way with any personal details you
feel comfortable about disclosing.

INTRODUCTIONS
How you respond to peoples' introductions is the group's
first indication of the kind of leadership you aim to provide.
A facilitative style conveys warmth, makes use of people's
first names and shows you are personally interested in each
person. For example…
""Hi, I'm John Graham from Accounts. I'm the supervisor for
the Northern offices. I've been there for 15 years."
"Anything to add, John?"
"Well, I'm a bit nervous about this team-building stuff and I
don't know what to expect."
"OK, John, thanks for being honest. It's likely others are
nervous, too, so perhaps you can tell us what it's like from
time to time as the group progresses.“
Use these responses to show that your communication is
two-way and that you are a listener as much as a talker.

ICEBREAKERS
Icebreakers are fun ways to introduce people in a new
group. They work best in groups which either know one
another or need to start off on a high energy level. They
may be counter-productive in suspicious groups.
Here are three icebreakers; aim to develop your own
repertoire.
1. Died And Gone To Heaven. Group members write their
obituaries as of now or as they want to be remembered at
the end of their lives.
2. Cocktail Party. Members mill around and meet others as
if at a cocktail party. One person is appointed host with the
aim of introducing everyone to everyone else.
3. Five Things About Me. Members jot down five things
about themselves and have to find pairs with others in the
group who share the same interest.

PERSONAL GOAL-SETTING
An activity on personal goal-setting as early in the life of a
new group as possible sends a clear sign that...
1. the group members' needs are uppermost in the
facilitator's concerns
2. group members have a responsibility for identifying
what they want to get out of the groupwork
3. the success of the groupwork is not how far the
facilitator comes but how far the group members come
4. a simple personal goal-setting exercise can consist of
paired discussions on "what I hope from the group".
When personal goals are discussed in the group, the group
as a whole become aware of one of the key challenges of
group life: what magic makes it possible to meet everyone's
individual needs within the lifetime of the group.

RIGHT RELATIONS
The concept of "right relations" can be introduced at the
start of groupwork in the knowledge that it influences every
aspect of group functioning. As facilitator, you may need to
coach the group in right relations if the group fails to make
headway.
Right relations is the willingness of all members to relate to
everyone else in the group in open, respectful and
responsible ways. This means creating an atmosphere in
which members of the group have equal status and feel free
to take risks within the group without fear of punishment.
Some interpersonal features that create right relations are:
genuine listening; patience; sharing; understanding; trust;
asking for and giving help; empathy; co-operative ways of
working; and teamwork.

GROUP CONTRACTING
Some facilitators like to devise personal contracts with
group members during the opening phase of groupwork.
These can cover goals, learning objectives, roles of members
and leader, rules of behaviour (such as dress), start and
finish times, safety rules and group values such as listening
to others' contributions.
You need to be aware that contracting is not in the spirit of
pure facilitation since it tells people how they should behave
ahead of experiences in which you want them to have
choices. Contracting also limits your role as party to an
agreement you may have to enforce.
However, people sometimes feel safer when rules have
been laid down at the start of groupwork; they can, after all,
be changed or re-negotiated later on.

A CONTRACT
There are two kinds of contract that the facilitator can make
with the group. The first is a straightforward contract
covering the rules of group life. This can include areas such
as timekeeping, leaving the group, manner of dress, and
group behaviour. The other contract is a "roles" contract
specifying what you expect of the group and what they can
expect of you.
1. In your expectations of the group you might include a
requirement for people to be accepting and supportive
of others; to be honest in how they feel; to take
appropriate risks; to help create a climate in which
learning can take place.
2. In their expectations of you, you might suggest to them
that your role is to offer a range of learning and helping
resources, including your own experience; that you will
also be honest and take risks; and that you will do all
you can to help the group to meet its learning aims.

WORK AND PLAY
Throughout creative groupwork, there is a constant
interplay between work and play. The work aspects of a
group's life are the tasks it is set, often at the request of the
group sponsor. The play aspects of a group's life are the
many interactions that take place between people as the
group takes on its own life. These include jokes, asides,
comments, gossip, laughter, fun, practical jokes, humour.
They are the person-affirming aspects of the group's life.
Work needs play as much as play needs work.
Author Stephen Covey says that in any effective undertaking
we need to look after the person who produces the work as
much as the work itself. Otherwise, like the goose that laid
the golden egg, we will destroy the source of our ability to
be effective.

GROUP EXERCISES
A group exercise at the latter part of the opening phase
does two main things...
1. It shifts the focus from you, the facilitator, to the group
members
2. it gives you the chance to ask yourself the three questions
you will have throughout the groupwork:
what levels of anxiety are present in the group?
what levels of intellectual curiosity exist in the group?
what levels of group maturity exist in the group?
Your intuitive reading of answers to these three questions
tells you where the group is now and where it can go.

NUDGING INTO OWNERSHIP
There is an opportunity even in the first group task of a new
group to indicate your facilitative style of group leadership:
"I'd like you to do this exercise in two groups, so let's split
you down the middle..."
or
"This exercise is best done in two groups. How would you
like to divide yourselves?“
Testing the water in this way will tell you whether the group
are keen to take on the responsibility of ownership or not. If
they are, fine; if not, you will need to continue your own
directive style until another opportunity presents itself.
