Mentoring:Managing Your Own Development Women In Technology October 27, 2001
Developing, Growing, Learning... • Active vs. Passive • Concrete Experience • Challenge & Reflection • New mental models • “I never thought of it that way!” • “I didn’t know I had that assumption.”
Self Awareness • Understand What’s Important? • What are my Strengths? • How do I go about performing? • Personality • Learning Style • What are my Values? See Peter Drucker - Harvard Business Review, Mar-April 1999
Action Planning • Begin with a Goal • Strength • Lack of experience • Development area • Compensate for a weak area
Action Planning • Does the goal motivate & energize me? • Will achieving the goal help me be more effective on my job? • Is the goal specific, challenging, and attainable? • Does it help me become “who” I want to be? • Does it align with a larger mission?
