What Does OUTstanding Look for in a Mentor?

OUTstanding seeks mentors who demonstrate Follow-Through, showing they are invested in their mentee through listening, responding, and providing ongoing support. Empathy is key, relating to the mentee’s experiences while recognising each person’s journey is unique. Mentors have The Ability to Pivot, knowing when to coach or teach to best support growth, and are consistently Supportive, providing a safe, non-judgemental space.

Great mentors show Belief in Their Mentee, use A Transparent Approach, maintain A Progressive Mindset, and focus on The Person, Not The Problem. They practise Unbiased Listening and Listening With Intention, offering relevant insights from Relevant Experience. They are fully Present in the moment and approach mentoring with Curiosity, asking questions to understand and guide mentees on their own path.
