3D Mentor Training Course
One of the fastest and most sustainable ways of improving job satisfaction is through competent and confident mentoring.

How 3D Mentor Training Works
Mentors channel their experience and character to shape peoples’ lives
Become a high impact mentor with this live training programme.
3D Mentor training equips leaders to become stronger in one-on-one people development. Mentors learn to use their professional and technical experience and blend it with strong interpersonal skills like listening, questioning, vision development, building firm ground and developing the learning relationship.
Learn how to overcome the big challenges that affect mentor-protégé success and become a more competent and confident developmental leader.
Our 3D Approach
Build vision
Learn to help less experienced protege’s identify the “why” of their worklife. Call it vision or purpose, the Mentor plays an important role in clarifying the person’s story of what their work means to them and what they expect from themselves. Vision is not a once off conversation, in the hands of a trained Mentor it becomes the story-glue that helps the protege make sense of daily experience.
Build firm ground
No one can develop and grow when they’re standing on shaky ground. This training course provides practical insight and guidance for Mentors to support their protege in putting in place practical, relational and skills based solid foundations.
Mentor in relationship
Mentoring works when there is a strong developmental relationship and this is often a challenge for leaders whose success is due to their technically and professional strengths. It is also a challenge however for many people leaders because the Mentoring role has to blend people-centricity with task realism. Feedback, accountability and boundaries are important aspects of what needs to be learned
