What must be Done?

Once the choices for moving forward have been agreed to, it is important that the mentee has fully bought into the action if they are to feel confident in completing it. This stage needs to cover the what, when, who (support/involved) and the will to do it. If this is not explored, you may think your mentee has left the session with agreed actions and be surprised to find that when you next meet that nothing has happened!

Some questions that may help are:

• What are you going to do?
• When are you going to do it?
• Will this action meet your goal?
• What obstacles might you meet along the way?
• Who needs to know?
• What support do you need?
• How and when are you going to get that support?
• What other considerations do you have?
• On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you that will carry out the actions agreed?
• What prevents it from being a 10?
• What would make it a 10 for you?
