Increasing Confidence Through Mentorship
Suggested Strategy: Sometimes people don’t realize their own
skillsets and confidence in doing so until they have the
opportunity to mentor or coach someone themselves. Provide
the opportunity to practice peer topeer work in an area the
employee demonstrates high capabilities in, which will
translate to confidence in areas that are lacking.
Suggested Questions:
→ Rating Questions: On a scale of one to six, with six being
you feel confident you can teach someone the skills necessary
to do (insert area), and one being you don’t feel confident,
where would you rate yourself and why?
→ Opposite Insertion Question: What can you do to successfully work
as a peer mentor to develop the skills necessary in a coworker?
→ Reflection Question: How has the process of mentorship and
coaching helped you build success in the areas you feel confident in?
Suggested Activities:
→ Demo Me: Have the employee go over their process of coaching and/or
teaching a coworker a skillset. Have them reflect how knowing how to do
so affects their confidence. Does it make them feel knowledgeable?
