The Mentor Certification Program by Matrrix provides a range of approaches an aspiring mentor can use in the professional life. In this program, participants partner with a Mentor Supervisor and imbibe all the skills, knowledge, information, and different thought processes that are required to grow professionally and personally. 

An aspiring Mentor is equipped to work on his/her capabilities to build upon the personal and professional growth of others. The aim of the program is to support learners to discover their own potential and wisdom to mentor others while ensuring mutually beneficial bonds are forged between the Mentor Supervisor and the Mentee. 

An excellent Mentor supervisor provides the learner with the most appropriate support while learning to listen with empathy. And, at Matrrix, we ensure all participants are completely focused on self-development while setting goals with the help of the Mentor supervisor.

This program is highly recommended for all senior leadership roles.

With the Mentor Certification Program, our clients turn into world-class mentors, making successful decisions along the way while leading, motivating and influencing strong business actions.

METHODOLOGY

The Matrrix Mentor Certification Program is developed to maximize a client’s personal and professional potential. Our methodologies used a systemized approach. We seek to develop 12 core competencies that bring massive changes to one’s professional outlook. Clients who have undergone the Mentor Certification Program at Matrrix, have noted behavioral changes with a positive approach in their thinking, feeling, and actions.

The Mentor Certification Program uses a combination of simulation activities, coach-led discussions, and experiential learning along with Psychometric Assessments tests, roleplays with a touch of humor, case studies and much more. The process of learning starts with a pre-assessment program followed by a training program and is concluded with a post-assessment test. More details in the structure section.

Post the activity, everyone needs to read and share their perspectives and learnings and need to present the same on the Day 1 (Month 2) of this program. This creates a firm foundation for learners looking to pursue mentoring in their professional life. Every participant needs to undergo a psychometric assessment test based on positive psychology. 

Month 2:
