Increasing Confidence Through Mentorship
Suggested Strategy: Sometimes people don’t realize their own skill sets and confidence in doing so until they have the opportunity to mentor or coach someone themselves. Provide the opportunity to practice peer to peer work in an area the employee demonstrates high capabilities in, which will translate to confidence in areas that are lacking.
Suggested Questions:
Î Rating Question: 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? Î Opposite Insertion Question: What can you do to successfully work as a peer mentor to develop the skills necessary in a coworker? Î Reflection Question: How has the process of mentorship and coaching helped you build success in the areas you feel confident in?
Suggested Activities:
Î Demo Me: Have the employee go over their process of coaching and/ or teaching a coworker a skill set. Have them reflect how knowing how to do so affects their confidence. Does it make them feel knowledgeable? Useful? Valued? Î Learning Project Prep: Introduce the employee that this employee will be working with. Discuss with both of them how they will be working to not only teach skills, but also build a peer relationship and how that affects confidence.
