Build mentoring relationships — and programmes — that actually help people grow.
Mentoring Skills & Mentoring Programme Design trains mentors to contract clearly, explain confidentiality limits, ask before they tell and give honest feedback; mentees to own the relationship; and programme leads to design matching, support, inclusion and sponsorship, and to evaluate and improve each cohort. Built on the GUIDE Model with a running case.
- Practise a first meeting with confidentiality limits
- See two versions of a mentor — storyteller vs questioner
- Handle a disclosure of bullying the right way
- Redesign a programme where 70% of pairs drifted
Mentoring Skills & Mentoring Programme Design Trainer Toolkit by Bodhih Training — built on programmes delivered to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
The workshop is on the calendar. The material isn’t.
Pairs that drift
Two meetings, then silence.
Mentors who lecture
Stories instead of growth.
Unequal outcomes
Advice for some, sponsorship for others.
Picture the evening before your programme.
Participants sort mentoring roles, practise contracting, listening, questioning and feedback, prepare as mentees, work through challenge scenarios, redesign a programme and evaluate cohort data.
What you will deliver
A complete design, sequenced and timed — so every session has a purpose and every activity lands.

Walk in with data. Walk out with proof.
Trainers who measure before and after design sharper sessions — and get rebooked. AssessAll, our sister assessment platform, has assessments that sit naturally alongside this programme.
Walk in knowing where every participant starts.
Pair Mentoring Skills & Mentoring Programme Design with an AssessAll assessment. Participants take it before the workshop, so you can tune the emphasis to the room; they retake it afterwards, so you can show the client what actually moved. Better-targeted sessions, and evidence that wins the next booking.

Nothing quite fits? Create your own assessment on AssessAll, or ask the AssessAll team to build one around this programme’s objectives for you.
That is the design work already done for you — research, session plans, slides, activities and assessments. Spend it facilitating, selling your next programme, or simply switching off.

The rest of the Bodhih family, when you need it
Make the workshop last beyond the room
A workshop is two days; the behaviour change takes months. Jobulary turns assessment evidence into a focused individual development plan (IDP) — a few quarterly objectives built on real work, re-measured honestly. Give every Mentoring Skills & Mentoring Programme Design participant a plan to carry forward.
IDPs are launching soon — the working demo is free to explore now, no sign-up.
