Mentoring thrives when partners are present, open, and connected. Yet in today’s fast-paced work environment, conversations often begin rushed and end without reflection—leaving insights fleeting and growth incomplete.
In-A-Word helps mentoring partners pause, reflect, and connect more deeply, so conversations stick and growth compounds over time.
Capturing this sentiment also gives program leaders real-time insight into how mentoring conversations are impacting participants, and ultimately how they show up at work.
How it works
With In-A-Word, mentoring conversation begins and ends with a simple but powerful prompt: “What’s one word that describes how you’re feeling?”
At the start of the meeting, partners share how they’re arriving—creating space for presence, empathy, and human connection.
At the end of the meeting, they share how they’re leaving—reinforcing memory, deepening learning, and capturing growth.
This moment of reflection:
Gives each partner awareness of their own mindset.
Builds understanding and trust between partners.
Reinforces the insights gained in the conversation, making them last.
The result? By weaving reflection seamlessly into mentoring, In-A-Word transforms routine check-ins into meaningful growth experiences. The result? Mentorships that feel more human, build stronger relationships, and deliver lasting impact.
