00:00:07.010 --> 00:00:09.663
Up until now, you’ve covered overall goals

00:00:09.688 --> 00:00:12.422
and career path options with your mentee.

00:00:12.664 --> 00:00:13.885
How did they get there?

00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:17.272
That’s where the next topic
for discussion comes into play...

00:00:17.297 --> 00:00:19.536
namely, development options.

00:00:19.896 --> 00:00:23.789
These are the strategies and
tactics that your mentee can draw upon

00:00:23.790 --> 00:00:28.359
to help them grow and develop so that
they can make their goals a reality.

00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:31.712
It’s a good idea to separate your
discussion of development options

00:00:31.737 --> 00:00:34.032
into personal and job-related...

00:00:34.057 --> 00:00:38.101
to cover the hard and soft skills
they’ll need to continue to hone.

00:00:38.930 --> 00:00:41.743
Let’s take a closer look
at some of these options.

00:00:42.084 --> 00:00:46.388
Suggest various stretch goals
pertaining to their current position...

00:00:46.413 --> 00:00:49.259
helping them expand their skillset.

00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:52.989
Another option is having the
mentee do some individual research

00:00:52.990 --> 00:00:55.149
to uncover new ideas.

00:00:55.150 --> 00:00:58.242
Job shadowing can also be
a great development tool

00:00:58.267 --> 00:01:01.252
as they spend time with a
subject matter expert.

00:01:01.277 --> 00:01:05.559
Pursue cross training with a related
or supporting department or group.

00:01:05.703 --> 00:01:08.157
Formal training (internal or external)

00:01:08.182 --> 00:01:11.849
to reinforce existing and
develop new skill sets.
