Activity 12: Self-assessment and Self-perception
Learning objectives: You will learn how to use this tool and you will be able, with the mentee, look upon yours and their self-perception and self-image from different perspectives.
In this exercise, you should assume the role of the mentor as well as the mentee.
Please ask this question to yourself: “If I now asked XY – what would he/she say about your competences/strengths/abilities/weaknesses?”
XY can be the mother/father, grandmother/grandfather, sister/brother, a friend or teacher.
Reflect on this and write all thoughts down. If you are working in a pair, share your reflections with your partner and also discuss together about:
- what worked out well in the exercise and what was difficult,
- and whether you could imagine using this exercise in future mentoring processes (provide reasons).
Additional Remarks: For better handling of the tool, it is recommended that you do this exercise together with another person.
