Moment Mentoring

Academies and tutors have 3 common problems:
  • They do not directly apply to your real-life situations.
  • The time between class and actual situations is too long.
  • Scheduling conflicts cause you to miss your classes.
Moment mentoring improves on this by focusing on what's happening in real time. Simply stated, before you start a conversation, or immediately after finishing one, you call your coach and discuss what happened.

These Moment Mentoring situations should last about 5-10 minutes. They should only cover 1 topic (or in some situations, maybe 2). The purpose is to resolve something that you can immediately commit to memory because it is important to you right now.

This is an important aspect of your English Every Day plan, and should be done in conjunction with a journal or other note taking.

While your Critical Focus will not change much in the short term, your English Every Day plan should be flexible and adapt to today's situations. This is part of the customization that will empower you to succeed. It should not become a repetitive exercise.

Providing you with Moment Mentoring is an important key to success. It is a core piece of our Executive English Coaching mission.
