Defining Mentorship

The Coaching and Mentoring Techniques that I discussed in the topic 3’s “Individual

Development Plan (IDP)" aligns with the Christian values and principles. The Christian values

and principles entail the attributes that the followers of Jestus Christ hold with utmost

importance. Love and compassion and integrity are two Christian values that the followers of

Christ hold dearly. The love and compassion are identified in the Bible’s John 13:34 where

Christ command his followers to love one another as a retaliation for his love to mankind. The

same values are reflected in the IDP through the emphasis on understanding the individual needs

strength and weakness of the mentee. The second Christian value is the integrity that is

highlighted in Proverbs 11:3 which emphasizes on positive aspect of integrity in guiding human

kind. The development of IDP is based on the Honest and transparency in guiding the mentee as

important attributes.

There is coaching and mentorship techniques that have some alignment with the Biblical

and Christianity principles. Active listening and constructive feedback are two important

attributes that aligns with the Christian values and principles. Active listing aligns with the

attribute of empathy and understanding. In this aspect, the mentor offers fill attention to mentee,

understand perspectives and focus on appropriate response. The second important technique is

provision of constructive feedback that focus on speaking the truth in love. In this case, one

offers mentee a honest but kind feedback to assist them improve in their endeavors (Al Hilali et

al.,2020). Thus, IDP and coaching and mentoring techniques have significant relationships with

the values and principles of Christianity.
