Tool 1: Personal Development Map
Guidelines:
Place your name in the center circle. Label each section as a different arena from which developmental relationships originate, e.g. work, education, family, faith, professional organizations, etc. Place initials of people in each quadrant that could serve as mentors to you - people that you admire and are making a difference.
Tool 2: Personal Reflections
What do you identify as your areas of strength?
What do you identify as your areas for development?
Possible strategies/activities/projects can you see in your current role where mentors would be helpful?
Tool 3: Mentor/Mentee Goal and Activity Planner
Record short and long-term goals and develop an activity plan together.
