Model can be used in a number of ways
* to reflect upon what nmentoring involves, and assess yourself as a mentor
* as a schedule for a mentoring meeting - to work through the stages
* as a map of the mentoring process - to see what ground has been covered and what needs further attention
* to review the mentoring relationship over time, as the mentee moves towards achieving the goals identified earlier in the relationship,
* to enhance shared understanding of the mentoring process and relationship, and to develop the mentee's ability to use the model indpendently.
