Assignment: Vision for Individual Development Plan

During this course, you are required to select a mentee and develop an "Individual Development Plan" (IDP). This plan will include both techniques and activities to support your mentee in achieving predetermined goals. You are required to implement a minimum of one activity from the IDP, so please select a mentee you can regularly interact with in order to discuss and monitor your plan.

In the process of building this plan, you will complete and submit components of it as directed. For this first assignment, review the "IDP Vision for Individual Development Plan" template, complete it, and submit it as directed. This template covers the following sections:

1) Mentee Selection

Taking into consideration the detailed guidelines provided in the template, decide on a potential candidate to mentor or coach. You should select a mentee that you have some sort of relationship with so you can build trust and talk to your mentee throughout the process.

2) Evaluate Personal Readiness

Regardless of past experience levels, take time to evaluate your personal readiness as a mentor. Reflect on areas of strength and areas where further development may be needed, incorporating characteristics and practices employed by effective leaders. This summary will help inform the value proposition you will create in the next section.

3) Value Proposition

Develop a value proposition statement that articulates the value you can offer as a mentor to others. This should be a short statement (50-100 words) that establishes a clear vision for you as a mentor/coach and expresses values you possess that would appeal to your mentee. Review the Topic 1 Resources for additional support on creating your value proposition.

4) Mentee's Vision

Once you have selected a mentee, write a brief vision statement (250-300 words) describing your vision for working with your mentee. The vision statement should capture the mentee's perceptions of working with a mentor.
