This Mentoring Guide has been developed for both mentees, and mentors - so there are resources in here for you both. This is a guide, not a list of rules (or legal advice). You may adapt it to suit your circumstances. Women in Media's objectives of this voluntary mentoring program are to: Improve opportunities and outcomes for women working in media Retain talented women in media Share knwoledge and skills Foster resilience and self-confidence Program Objectives M Y C O M M I T T M E N T S A checklist for Read this Mentoring Guide and become familiar with what is expected of you Adhere to the Women in Media Mentoring Code of Conduct Establish and agree upon your Mentoring Agreement during your first meeting Remember to respect confidentiality and professional boundaries Give and receive regular feedback to your mentee/mentor Participate in the quarterly mentoring feedback surveys so we (Women in Media) can further learn what is working, and what can be improved for future mentoring programs Please refer to the checklist below as a summary of your key actions. mentees & mentors About Mentoring A developmentally orientated relationship between a mentee and a mentor, where the mentor offers guidance, support and new learning opportunities to the mentee. A relationship founded on mutual respect, non-judgement, openness and willingness to learn, confidentiality and trust, and personal growth and continuous feedback. Mentoring is... Therapy. Whilst a good mentor will help a mentee through professional and personal issues, mentoring sessions should not focus on health or financial issues. A recruitment agency. A mentor is not expected to make introductions or help a mentee find a new job. Mentoring is not... A sounding board - someone who provides knowledge, encouragement, guidance, coaching and constructive feedback to the mentee by developing a genuine interest in the growth of their abilities and talents. A mentor is... Someone who seeks support and guidance in their career and professional development. A mentee always has ultimate responsibility for their career and professional development. A mentee is... T A K E T H E L E A P ARE YOU READY Whilst everyone can benefit from mentoring, not everyone will benefit from mentoring at the same time in their career. Before applying for a mentoring program, we recommend asking yourself the following questions: Are you clear on what help you need? If not, try to do some more self-reflection. Our 'mentoring matching application form' will also help you solidify this. Are you ready to listen, even if it is not what you want to hear? Can you honestly respond to questions that dig deep into why you make the choices you make? Can you open yourself up to trusting a mentoring relationship? Are your expectations for your mentor flexible? Are you willing to look at situations from all angles? Are you driven and ambitious to pursue personal growth? Are you ready to stretch out of your comfort zone? Are you willing to do the work (meeting 1 hour per month) and also doing the 'self-work' between sessions? Are you willing to commit to the expectations of a mentee (see below)? Do you have time and energy to commit to mentoring? Are you ready to learn more about yourself? If you answered yes to the questions above, read on. TO BE A MENTEE? Eligibility All women working in media can apply to join Women in Media's mentoring program There is no cost for either the mentee or mentor. Optional events (e.g. networking/professional development events) throughout the year may involve a small charge to cover costs. Cost Note that whilst we do our best to connect everyone with their ideal mentee/mentor match, unfortunately due to numbers and matching compatibility, we cannot accept everyone into the mentoring program. If you are not accepted into this year's mentoring program, we encourage you to apply again next year. T A K E T H E L E A P ARE YOU READY Traditionally being a mentor has been reserved for advanced stage career professionals. However, Women in Media are encouraging all professionals to consider being a mentor - regardless of your career stage or age. Early stage career professionals can be a great mentor to others who may be at university, or even to more advanced stage career professionals who may want to learn a particular skill or become more familiar with technology (e.g. social media, podcasting). Some questions you may like to ask yourself when considering if you are ready to be a mentor include: Do you have strong ambitions to give back and assist other women working in media to advance their career and grow as an individual? Are you willing to commit to the expectations of a mentor (see below)? Do you have time and energy to commit to mentoring? Are you open and willing to advise, support, challenge and coach? Are you ready to learn more about yourself? (mentors often experience indirect learning benefits from reflecting on how they got to their current position and articulating the vision of what they want next from their careers) If you answered yes to the above questions, read on. TO BE A MENTOR? Note that whilst we do our best to connect everyone with their ideal mentee/mentor match, unfortunately due to numbers and matching compatibility, we cannot accept everyone into the mentoring program. If you are not accepted into this year's mentoring program, we encourage you to apply again next year. Eligibility All women working in media can apply to join Women in Media's mentoring program There is no cost for either the mentee or mentor. Optional events (e.g. networking/professional development events) throughout the year may involve a small charge to cover costs. Cost STEP 1 STEP 3 WHAT TO EXPECT FROM MY MENTORING JOURNEY STEP 2 As a mentee/ mentor, you will receive an email invitation to be involved in a 12 month mentoring program. After reviewing the Mentoring Guide, if you are willing to commit to the program, you will complete a detailed questionnaire so we can find your "ideal match". STEP 5 Meet at least once per month with your mentee/mentor. Stay in touch between meetings (work out what works for you both). STEP 7 Complete each Quarterly Review Survey so we know how you are tracking, and what we can do to further support you. Ensure you check in with each other (provide feedback, again) and review goal progress. Receive an email introduction to your "ideal match", along with a Profile (about your match) so you know a little about your mentee/mentor before you meet. STEP 4 Attend the mentoring kick off event. Learn more about what to expect from the program, and meet other mentee and mentors. STEP 6 Provide feedback to each other regularly. Review the Mentoring Guide to ensure you are making the most of the experience. Reach out for support to WiM or Brancher if you have questions. STEP 8 Attend the 6 month group mentoring meet up to meet other mentees and mentors, and connect (and re-connect) with peers. STEP 9 Follow up and connect again with a mentee/mentor you met at the group meet up - who do you want to stay in touch with? STEP 10 Stay connected with your mentee/mentor - continue meeting monthly (at least) and reviewing your goals quarterly. STEP 11 Receive an email that formalises the end of the mentoring program. It is up to each pair to decide "what's next?". Mentor to set clear boundaries and expectations around what the relationship will look like. STEP 12 Consider, do you want to do it all again? We would love to have you join us for another mentoring journey! Mentee to contact mentor and arrange a time and place to meet - ideally face to face. Set clear goals, expectations and boundaries. How do we match? We use Brancher to help create the ideal match. NO FAULT Whilst we do our best to create the "ideal" match, incompatibility is part of life and is no one’s fault! If either the mentor or the mentee (or both) face difficulties with their mentoring relationship, the first step is to try and resolve the issue/s by having an open feedback uploads/S4/ mentor-guide 1 .pdf
