About this course

Mentoring is one of the highest-leverage development activities available, yet most relationships stall within three months because neither party knows how to run them. This course teaches the specific mechanics of great mentoring from both seats — how to set a contract, run structured sessions, give and receive candid feedback, and track measurable progress. You will leave with ready-to-use templates and a personal mentoring plan.
