Mentoring involves an experienced person assisting a mentee in developing skills and knowledge to enhance professional and personal growth. Counseling provides advice to someone who is confused, while mentoring helps capable individuals develop their abilities. When mentoring, one may face challenges like assessing the mentee's background, identifying their motivation, dealing with inexperience, setting goals, keeping them engaged, building confidence, fostering independence, and setting boundaries. Mentoring relationships can be open or closed, public or private, formal or informal, active or passive, and stable or unstable. The case study describes a basketball referee who receives mentoring from a colleague to improve his interactions with coaches and players.

2. Mentoring
 Mentoring is most often define as a professional
relationship in which an experienced person (the
mentor ) assists another (mentee)in developing
specific skills and knowledge that will enhance the less
experienced persons professional and personal
growth.

3. Diff. Between Counselling & Mentoring
Counselling : Counselling is done to the person
who is little confused or does not know what to do,
so some ideas is being given in order he should not
lose himself.
Mentoring : suppose a person is capable to do
many things, so you would mentor / coach that
person to bring out his abilities, and make him a
person who can represent you on your behalf.

6. Being a mentor you might face one of these
challenges when dealing with your mentee:
Assessing mentee's background (knowledge and skills)
Identifying mentee's motivation
Dealing with mentee's inexperience (knowledge and skills)
Setting reasonable goals for the project
Keeping mentee engaged
Building mentee's confidence
Fostering mentee's independence
Setting limits and boundaries for the mentor/mentee
relationship
Giving negative feedback to the mentee on lack of progress

 Open . . . Closed
OPEN-participants feel free to discuss any topic
Closed-there are specific agenda items or issue
 Public . . . Private
public- involves other people being aware of the relationship
private – no one or only few people are aware
 Formal . . . Informal
Formal mentor relationships are usually organized in the workplace where an
organization matches mentors to mentees for developing careers
Informal mentor relationships usually occur spontaneously and are largely
psychosocial; they help to enhance the mentee’s self esteem and confidence by
providing emotional support and discovery of common interests.

13. • Active . . . Passive
active – both participants taking some sort of action
passive- produce very Little action from either side
• Stable . . . Unstable

approach to meeting
unstable- unstable relationship is opposite ,both insecure and inconsistent

14. Ron is a basketball referee with his local association.
He referees in the local under 18 women’s competition.
He has refereed for six years, and is a qualified referee after doing a course five
years ago.
He attends briefing sessions run by the association a couple of times a season,
where the chief referee discusses rule changes and interpretations and all of the
association’s referees can ask questions and discuss issues.
Ron always tries to speak with the coaches after his games to get some feedback
on his refereeing, but he often gets conflicting feedback from the coaches.
He is starting to become frustrated, and decides to ask Chris (another referee
from his zone) to come and watch some of the games he referees and give him
some feedback.
Chris suggests they have a chat before she watches a game so she can be clear
on what Ron is hoping to achieve.
Ron decides he wants Chris to focus her observations and feedback on how he
interacts with the coaches and players as they often argue with him after he has
made a controversial decision
Case Study ..

15. Ron feels he gets flustered in these situations and it then affects how he referees
the rest of the game. Chris watches half a dozen of Ron’s games and together they
discuss some strategies that Ron can use ‘in the heat of the moment’ to better
handle his interactions with coaches and players.
Ron is happy with the improvements he has made and does not ask Chris to watch
any more games. Through the mentoring process, Chris has recognized that
Ron is a very good technical referee with excellent knowledge of the rules.
A few months later Chris asks Ron to come and watch her referee a senior men’s
game to give her some feedback on her interpretation of the offensive foul rules
