The Skilled-Helper Model
The model helps the mentee address three main questions:
Stage 1: Current scenario
What’s going on?
Stage 2: Preferred scenario What do I want instead?
Stage 3: Action strategies How might I get what I want?
How do I make it all happen?
Egan, G. (2010) The Skilled Helper , 9th Ed. Brooks Cole, CA, USA.
A successful mentoring relationship depends on attitudinal
attributes of the mentor more than skills and knowledge.
It provides a framework for helping the mentor.
It can be used in other types of helping relationships.
Works best if attention is paid to Rogers’ “core conditions” of
genuineness, respect and empathy in association with good
active listening.
We will now apply Egan’s model to our working environment.
Working in groups of three we would like you to adopt three
roles:
The mentee needs to think of an area of their current work that
they would like ‘help’ with. All discussions should remain confidential.
The mentor should use Egan’s model to help the mentee with their
problem.
The observer will provide feedback to the mentor on their application of
the model and suggest any areas for improvement.
