The workshop
Our year long Mowgli Mentoring Experience commences with an introduction to mentoring programme
which incorporates mentee and mentor matching, relationship building and the development of a
framework by which the mentee and mentor will operate for the remainder of the year long relationship.
The first 1 day involves the mentors only, providing them with knowledge and tools to participate
successfully in this experience. In the second part of the program, mentors and mentees will be paired

2. during an accelerated relationship-building activity, followed by one-to-one sessions. The pairs will work
on understanding each other while the mentee sets his business proposition; as well as personal
development plans coupled with measurable goals.
Going forward, each mentee will drive the experience, while his/her mentor will react to the goals and
objectives and provide support in achieving them. Open up a Mowgli Mentoring Process Map for
more detail about what the Mowgli programme (MME) involves, or visit our FAQ pages to find
out more.
