WELCOME by Amy Brockbank
Welcome to the Autumn 2013 edition of The Mentor! It is my pleasure to write this introduction as the new Lead for the NHS North West Mentoring Scheme. Within this issue I hope to share ideas and spark conversation about how we, as a mentoring community, can move mentoring forward and make it a ‘go to’ source for development within our NHS organisations.
As the NHS is transforming, we have to transform too. Whether you are working in a new organisation or are learning from the lessons outlined in recent reports, the level of organisational development in the NHS has never been so large: where fundamental changes in attitudes, behaviour and culture are required to achieve the challenges we face. As the NHS is transforming, we have a real opportunity to engage, develop and embed mentoring into the formation of organisational cultures. As a starting point, on page 6, we share learning from the Annual Conference which explored how mentoring can create positive attitudes and cultures in the NHS.
It’s a lot easier to work together and move forward if we all know where we are going. In order for each of us to contribute to the positive development of mentoring cultures in our organisations we all need to understand, be able to communicate, and have the opportunity to shape the description of ‘where we are going’.
It’s your Scheme! What would you like to say? 4 The Mentor December 2013
What is our mentoring destination? This is the fundamental question we would like you to consider in this issue. To kick start the discussion we have posed a Mission and Vision statement for the scheme (page 5). We would like your input to ensure the final statements are real and meaningful. This is your opportunity to inject a “wow” factor into how we communicate about the scheme. Our members have already created several ‘elevator pitches’ for mentoring. Read page 12 for more details and take part in the elevator pitch challenge! Share your ideas by emailing nwmentoring@gmw. nhs.uk or via twitter using #mymentoringvision.
www.nwmentoring.nhs.uk
We are taking action behind the scenes to make engaging with mentoring easier for our members. In this issue we are focusing on raising awareness, engagement, and sustainability. “Our Vision is a future where developmental mentoring is embedded into all healthcare organisations as a fundamental pathway for developing innovation, integration and leadership in order to facilitate the delivery of the best possible care for patients and their families.”
Awareness
Imagine a landscape where everyone knows mentoring is available and what the benefits of mentoring are. We are tailoring approaches to support organisations as well as different professional networks. As outlined on page 2, we are looking to recruit a Mentor Champion in each organisation so there is a local point of contact. Please let us know if you are interested!
Engagement
Increasing numbers of active mentoring relationships in every NHS organisation in the North West. “Our Mission is to provide a multi- professional developmental mentoring service which supports all NHS colleagues in the North West to lead the delivery of outstanding care for patients.”
We don’t just want people to know about the benefits of mentoring, we would like people to benefit from mentoring. Engagement for us is a growth in active numbers of mentors and mentees, as well as impactful and productive relationships. To find out more about this please see page 10, “Meeting the Mentoring Vision”. We are always learning from what our members feed back to us, trying new ways to engage, grow and improve. We have outlined some changes already on page 3, and we have begun a twitter ‘take over’ every Monday. Tweet us with #MentoringMondays to start your week with a mentoring mind-set. Ask us questions, share learning, keep the conversation going!
Sustainability
Organic and measurable mentoring growth within organisations and professions In order for mentoring to flourish we see the need for organic growth within organisations and professions. What do we mean? Mentoring that fits. Mentoring which is not an ‘add-on’ but incorporated seamlessly into local initiatives and contributes to a positive organisational culture. In order to have a positive influence on culture, the experience of mentoring needs to be positive. On page 9 we learn from instances when mentoring has gone wrong and how to avoid ‘toxicity’ in mentoring and keep our experiences positive. Done right, mentoring is a way to enhance leadership capability at all levels of the organisation. It promotes proactivity in development, whether the development is focused on individual professional direction or a system wide service improvement, we see the outcome as always being patient oriented. Fantastic work is already underway in organisations and on page 8 we celebrate the winners of the 2013 Mentoring Scheme Awards.
I hope you enjoy the issue and join in the conversation! mentoring for innovation, integration, leadership

SHARING LESSONS FROM THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2013
Completing the networking activity as delegates wait for the conference to start.
“MENTORING TO CREATE POSITIVE ATTITUDES AND CULTURES IN THE NHS” The Annual Conference took place on the 6th June 2013 at the Mercure Norton Grange, Rochdale. With approximately 70 delegates in attendance from across the region, we looked at creating positive attitudes and cultures in the NHS. Workshops focused on values at work, resilience, socratic questioning and transition stress management. Here are the key lessons from the day. “Beyond Maslow – Values at Work” with Cathy Bridge
“Strategies to Manage Transition Stress” with Agnes Bamford
Key lessons for mentoring:
Key lessons for mentoring:
Being aware of a mentee’s set of values gives you a starting point for helping you to understand them better and communicate with them more meaningfully.
Tips to manage stress: • Gather information to make sense of your environment. • Recognise your own “cultural baggage”. • Be prepared to step outside of your comfort zone. • Find a mentor or friend to explore thoughts and feelings. • Take care of yourself and stay healthy. • Ask for help if you need it. • Have a sense of adventure!
Graves, a psychologist, built on Maslow’s work to create a model of evolutionary psychology that encompases the individual and their environment. Grave’s model illustrates how systems of core values cluster together to create ‘value memes’. The model helps us to understand why different views exist either at an individual level or for an entire culture.
Why not use the lifeline activity as a starting point? 6 The Mentor December 2013
Each individual reacts to change in different ways and there are five types of change in ‘transition stress’, refered to as the 5 ‘R’s’: Routines, Reactions, Roles, Relationship and Reflections.
www.nwmentoring.nhs.uk
“The Art of Guided Discovery to Facilitate Change” with Yvonne Slater & John Storey
Key lessons for mentoring: Using the principles of socratic questioning with your mentee can: • Help your mentee to shift perspective away from current focus (stuck point). • Reveal new perspectives and help gather enough information to develop new awareness and expand current vision. • Shift attention, to facilitate access to information which is relevant but is out fo the person’s current focus. The socratic method uses questions to help your mentee learn and draw new conclusions rather than being given advice or instructions, helping them to maintain autonomy and independence.
“Building Resilience” with Jacquelyn Bownes Key lessons for mentoring: Here are four key building blocks of resilience and how you can develop them either yourself or with your mentee: 1. Confidence: Focus on your strengths and achievements, gain feedback for awareness, use language of postive emotions, encourage celebration. 2. Purposefulness: Goal setting, values elicitation, deeper level questioning, life wheel exercise. 3. Social support: Relaxation techniques, skilful questioning about support, drama/winners triangle, communication pyramid. 4. Adaptability: Learn to optimise, reframe thoughts, keep an ABCDE thinking log (see diagram). Thank you to the delegates, mentor champions and to our facilitators and guests who helped to make this day such a success! If you would like to have copies of the slides from the day, please visit the resources section of MentorNet to download them. Got something else to say? Email us at nwmentoring@gmw.nhs. uk or call us on 0161 772 3608. “Good to have time to work through the stages of transition and consider strategies to manage stress.” “Really intresting concept. Really enjoyable presentation. I can take this away + use not only in mentoring in my work/personal life. Brilliant presenters.”
What delegates said:
“Excellent! Really engaging presentation, thought provoking and applicable to mentoring as a tool to empower mentees.” “As I am a mentee it was intresting to gain an insight into how a mentor approaches developing resilience in others” “Useful model for breaking down the concept of resilience into components that can be worked on at different levels in different arays.” mentoring for innovation, integration, leadership

2013 AWARD WINNERS At the conference in June, we hosted the 2013 Mentoring Awards. The awards are peer nominated and have proven to be a real success in celebrating outstanding leadership and achievements through mentoring. Here are the 2013 winners:
Model Mentee Award 2013 Jacky Dexter Service Manager, Liverpool Women’s Hospital Foundation Trust “If I had to describe Jacky in only 3 words I would select brave, tenacious and focussed. A change in career direction is one thing but at a time of national and local organisational turmoil it required all of these qualities and more – and she delivered!”
Mentor Exemplar Award 2013 Muhuntha (“Mo”) Gnanalingham Consultant in Paediatric Intensive Care, Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust “My truly exceptional Mentor is a valuable discovery. Someone who listens deeply, never judges unfairly, and strives to change his perspective in order to understand mine. Someone who gives their time and experience freely to encourage, guide and support, and to successfully facilitate both my professional development and personal growth.”
Services to Mentoring Award 2013 Sue Ashman Medical Training Co-ordinator, Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust “Sue has been instrumental to the success of the Mentor Matching events, working with the Scheme to plan and jointly facilitate some of the sessions. The events have seen a number of new relationships formed for members on the scheme and at the end of the day, that’s why we are all here.”
8 The Mentor December 2013
www.nwmentoring.nhs.uk
Research into the effectiveness of mentoring in the NHS has concluded that both staff retention and effectiveness improves in the presence of mentoring. However, a small percentage of staff report that they do not find mentoring helpful. To ensure we have a mentoring scheme where both mentors and mentees have a positive experience it is important to learn from incidences when mentoring can go wrong.
‘TOXIC MENTORING’
WHAT IS IT? …AND HOW CAN WE AVOID IT?
From 2009 to 2011, Rhianon Washington undertook a PhD alongside her role as the trainer for the North West Mentoring Scheme. Due to the valuable contribution of scheme members, Rhianon researched incidences of when mentoring went wrong, referred to as ‘toxic mentoring’. A summary of key lessons from Rhianon’s research is included below.
If you wish to protect your mentoring relationship here are a couple of pointers to avoiding common toxic triggers:
• Use skills associated with developmental mentoring. The onus is on the mentor to listen, rather than offering instant answers or advice. Mentees are encouraged to explore and create solutions. This sidesteps the need for specialised knowledge in the mentee’s field or profession and creates a more equitable relationship. • The Scheme offers the opportunity to access a mentor outside of not only the organisation, but the profession as well. This reinforces a strong trust environment as no pre-conceived ideas exist and the relationship is less likely to be influenced by in-house politics.
• Think about endings. So often the relationship either drifts apart or ends abruptly. Plan the end at the beginning. It is important to celebrate achievements and thank each other. • The Scheme has a wonderful reputation due much to its focus on mentee care. But as a mentor you need to care for yourself too. Perhaps mentoring champions could explore methods to allow mentors to reflect upon their experiences.
• Always, always contract! Clear contracting ensures that both mentor and mentee understand their responsibilities, commitment and boundaries. Spend at least one session on contracting. Periodically revisit your contract to ensure that you are both benefiting from the relationship.

NETWORK LEARNING EVENT MEETING THE MENTORING VISION! On the 17th October 40 scheme members attended the ‘Meeting the Mentoring Vision’ Network Learning Event. The day was designed to give members the opportunity to shape how we communicate about mentoring in the North West as well as develop tools to communicate about mentoring in their own organisations. The guest speaker for the day was Vicki Espin, who helped members focus on building success in their organisations and really inspired delegates with the idea of ‘being’ a mentor/mentee. The day was full of active discussion and buzz about how the members thought mentoring should be taken forward; we would like to share with you the outcomes from the day: Where are we now? It is important for us to understand what engagement with mentoring is currently like for our members. 63% of those attending the event replied to an online survey which looked at how well known the availability of mentoring is in the workplace; confidence in describing contribution to mentoring; enthusiasm about mentoring; motivation to take action to move mentoring forward as well as the
single biggest enabler and single biggest blocker for mentoring in organisations. The results from the enabler/blocker questions can be seen here in the two diagrams and provide vital intelligence for us in supporting you to engage with mentoring in your organisation.

#mymentoringvision An elevator pitch is a short snappy description that can be said in less than 30 seconds in the event you need to communicate quickly with the upmost impact!
How do you want to communicate about mentoring?
The final session of the day was designed to help members confidently communicate about mentoring in their organisations. Groups created an ‘elevator pitch’ for mentoring in the North West. Working in teams, our members prepared their own elevator pitches and then voted for their favourite. Would describing mentoring in this way be useful in your organisations? Let us know what you think, and in the meantime, we invite you to create your own elevator pitch and tweet us at #mymentoringvision.
the most voted for elevator pitch:
