Developing mentoring tools

This lesson aims to introduce and explore ways to develop mentoring tools for your mentoring practice.

The video from Susy were developed for employment, but they still remain relevant, so please listen to them making abstraction from the employment context. It is also important to recognise that employment would have an influence on mentee’s welbeing.
