Mentoring Starter Kit

A ready-to-use kit covering the first steps of setting up a mentoring program: participant onboarding essentials, initial communications, and early program checklists. Pairs naturally with the Mentoring Handbook below.

Mentoring Program Proposal 

You know mentoring can transform talent and strengthen leadership pipelines, but a weak proposal stalls progress.

Our Mentoring Program Proposal Template gives HR leaders a clear, strategic framework to define objectives, outline design, set timelines and budgets, and show measurable impact so you can secure buy‑in and launch with confidence.

Mentoring Project Plan Template 

Our Mentoring Project Launch Plan template provides a step-by-step roadmap to guide your program from concept to launch.

It includes key milestones, stakeholder alignment tools, checklists, and templates so you can engage mentors and mentees effectively, track progress, and demonstrate impact so you can save time, reduce risk, and start your program strong.

 

Mentoring Handbook 2026

The Brancher Mentoring Handbook is designed for HR professionals, learning leaders, and program  administrators who want to create impactful mentoring programs that actually work.

Whether you're launching your first program or refining an existing one, this handbook gives you practical tools, proven frameworks, and real examples to guide every step — from planning and recruitment to matching, engagement, and measurement.

Mentoring Agreement Template 

You’re managing a mentoring program and want to set it up for success. That’s where this Mentoring  Agreement  Template steps in.

With it you can define meeting frequency, communication methods, roles and responsibilities, confidentiality protocols and goals-- all in one structured document.

It helps you start each mentor‑mentee pair with shared expectations, avoids misunderstandings later on, and supports you in running the program smoothly.

Whether you’re rolling out a first‑time program or refining an existing one, this tool takes the guess‑work out of establishing strong foundations.

Running Day-to-Day

Practical tools for the life of an active mentoring relationship — communication, tracking, and handling the moments that don't go to plan.

Mentoring Program Email Templates

Pre-written email templates for the key moments of a mentoring program: welcome messages, check-in prompts, and milestone reminders, so administrators aren't drafting communications from scratch under time pressure.

feedback tools

Mentoring Feedback & Follow-Up Form

A structured form for capturing feedback after mentoring sessions, helping administrators spot fit issues or disengagement early rather than discovering them at the program's end.

Mentoring Journal Template

A simple journal template for mentees and mentors to track discussion topics, goals, and progress between sessions, supporting continuity if a rematch is ever needed.

Mentoring Program Evaluation
goals module

Mentee Goals Worksheet

A worksheet to help mentees define clear, specific goals at the start of a mentoring relationship — and revisit them if their mentor changes or their priorities shift.

How to Deal With a Difficult Mentee

Guidance for mentors and administrators navigating a mismatched pairing, a disengaged mentee, or a difficult conversation, before it escalates into a rematch or program drop-off.

In this webinar, global experts Andy Lopata and Ruth Gotian break down what actually drives results.
