Steps Toward Balancing Life's Demands: One-To-One Mentoring For Effective Living (Mentoring tool)

This mentoring workbook is designed to help you establish a more deliberate and intensive mentoring or coaching relationship. It will allow you to get to know your protégé and evaluate how you can best help him or her create a purpose or mission statement, make the calendar your friend and plan for success and balance in the "seven areas of life management."

The seven planning areas include: Family (marriage and family); Finances (sharing, spending, saving); Personal Growth (mental and emotional); Physical (health and fitness); Social (friendship and citizenship); Spiritual (seeking and serving God); and Work (personal contribution).

This mentoring workbook is flexible and protégé centered. It has been used for one-on-one mentoring within churches, businesses and with family members. It has also served as a guide for accountability group discussions and is used by personal coaches for face-to-face or distance coaching with the companion tool Coaching for Life™.

Mentoring is a powerful relational principle that has shaped lives throughout human history. Leadership development and accelerated spiritual growth are natural by-products of one-to-one mentoring, coaching, discipling and equipping relationships. This tool will assist you in being a better mentor or coach to those you seek to help.
