Developmental Mentoring reflects the shift toward a coaching and collaborative mentoring approach driven by evolving workplace dynamics, generational changes, and a focus on empowerment.
Today's workplaces are complex, valuing innovation and agility - skills that require mentees to find their own solutions. Millennials and Gen Z prioritize autonomy and feedback, thriving in collaborative relationships.
Developmental Mentoring enhances self-awareness, confidence, and ownership while improving communication and engagement.
Central to our model is the Solution Focus methodology, which recognizes the mentee as the expert in their life and creates a safe space for exploration and co-creating progress.
Moving beyond traditional mentoring, we see developmental mentoring as shifting “From Passing the Fish to Passing the Fishing Rod”.

Marina Krimba | Assistant General Manager, Head of Transaction Banking Operations - EUROBANK | Diploma in Developmental Mentoring GraduateI realized that mentor-mentee needs to be balanced!

Mentor at PIRAEUS Developmental Mentoring programOne aspect that stood out for me was the importance of focusing on even the smallest steps of progress. Highlighting these subtle shifts and exploring how my mentee approached challenges differently from before was both insightful and inspiring. It underlined the value of acknowledging progress, no matter how incremental, in building confidence and fostering continuous improvement.
Mentor at PIRAEUS Developmental Mentoring programMy mentoring sessions helped me to believe in myself and find better ways to communicate with my colleagues. My mentor made targeted questions to help me unlock my potential, such as challenging me to identify my achievements and competitive advantages. He also taught me to ask for feedback and take it as a gift to improve myself. In terms of communicating with my colleagues, we discussed being honest and open about work limitations and letting my colleagues know in advance the timetables. That's how anxiety reduces for both parties and trust builds.
