Today I am going to the AIESEC Conference in Oslo, Norway to talk about mentoring.

Also here I will be conducting my seminar «The Big Five», I hope there will be a lot of people. More about this and some pictures will come a bit later.

If you are in Oslo, come by and join the seminar, it is in Chateau Neuf, Slemdalsveien 15.

It is right next to Politihøyskolen, Musikkhøyskolen and Meninghets fakultetet. It`s within walking distance from Majorstua which has stops for the subway(t-bane), tram (trikken) and buses.

Campus Kristiania Career days – Seminar “The Big Five”

As you all know by now I have a seminar called «The Big Five» where I am talking about the five tools in being a mentor. The seminar has grown very popular and the student at Campus Kristiania stood in line to get to the seminar. Taking only 30 participants it`s difficult to reach evry students who wants to participate.

All 32 students find the seminar very useful and had a great time with other students they barely knew and suddenly they were telling them personal things.

After the seminar they all would try the tools to be a better student and to get other students better.

Can a trainer ask for more?

The adept book

Right no I am working at my second edition for my first book, still in norwegian. But I hope it will be English/American within short time.

The book is a working book for the adept. I use the world adept, and others use protegee, mentees and maybe some other names. I use adept because it it is from the Latin language and the meaning is  a apprentice.

Do you have some opinions about what is best to call the person. Please write it here at my blogg.

Viking Weekend 2009

JCI Drammen are having people from all over europe coming for their annual «Viking Weekend». This year on Solli Farm in Asker, Norway.

I was booked for my training in «The Big Five» with persons from Polen, Latvia, Germany and Norway. I got two hours to work especially with listening, questions and feedback.

Even two hours are little time they got a preview of how it is to be a mentor and adept. They all get very curious about mentoring and maybe they would get their own mentor when they get home.

Or maybe they will try to be mentor for another person and with the knowledge from «The Big Five» you are actually able to do so. But to be a good mentor you need to practise – practise – practise…

Pictures are coming.

Myth about mentoring #4 LEARNING

Myth:
The mentor is done learning and know everything and adept is there to learn.

 

Fact:
The person who thinks he is finish learning is finish. The mentor also has to work hard to develop his competence. Mentoring is mutual learning.
