===Mentoring Matrix Final Overview===
 +
 +
== DisCO Dating/Mentoring day to day==
 +
 +
===WHAT IS CLEAR===
 +
* This section explains the day to day rhytms of the future disconauts that have started the mentoring process. These are the following:
 +
 +
* (Describes what Dating actually "looks like". Calls, looking at the Matrix, Screencast tutorials, asking in MM etc)
 +
* Different for each Dater.
 +
* Check ins, rhythm (timeline)
 +
* Mentoring Matrix
 +
* Suggest "visits" to circles or sprints
 +
* Highlight the human factor
 +
* Having specific training on language that addresses power imbalanace (AMU comment during Zafra)
 +
* this is a list of rhythms
 +
* from phase 1 to 3
 +
* we could include a timeline
 +
** Much of the timeline and rhythms are covered in [[#Dating_and_Mentoring_Timeline_Options | this previous section]]
 +
 +
* this is a narrative example/s of this section (how it would be in practice for different individua;s members of the NP)
 +
 +
===WHAT IS UNCLEAR===
 +
 +
this is only for potential disconauts engaged in a mentoring process??
 +
do we need a list of chapters/topics of the mentoring programme at thsi stage? or a link to them?
 +
timeline
 +
 +
===FEEDBACK===
 +
Discussion btw AM and ILdeV:
 +
* we talk about 2 types of mentoring:
 +
** stable mentoring, the "standard bearers", those belonging to different circles that make sure "the DisCO ways" are put into practice and maintained, as well as the value streams the organisation has (business model and specific LOVE and CARE work practices)
 +
** teachers, trainers, those who provide the initial mentoring/educational modules that teach the new recrutis the DisCO ways in general and the specific DisCO practices chosen/own by the organisation
 +
* this conversation led us to talk about the difference between internal DisCO training (DisCO.coop internal onboarding process, both mentoring/education and ongoing mentoring) and training members of other organisations that will lead the transformation inside theoir own collectives
 +
===WAY FORWARD===
 +
 +
===WHO WRITES===
 +
 +
== Completion of Stage 3 vs Full membership==
 +
 +
* Explain the diffs
 +
** As mentioned before, someone may complete all Dating Stages in 3 or 6 months, but 9 months is sufficient time to see whether relationshios work once the honey moon phase is over and true mutual support over common challenges is needed etc
 +
 +
== Dating Phase TLDR==
 +
 +
* Go through whole section and make bullet point TLDR with indents
 +
 +

Mentoring Matrix Final Overview

DisCO Dating/Mentoring day to day

WHAT IS CLEAR

  • This section explains the day to day rhytms of the future disconauts that have started the mentoring process. These are the following:
  • (Describes what Dating actually "looks like". Calls, looking at the Matrix, Screencast tutorials, asking in MM etc)
  • Different for each Dater.
  • Check ins, rhythm (timeline)
  • Mentoring Matrix
  • Suggest "visits" to circles or sprints
  • Highlight the human factor
  • Having specific training on language that addresses power imbalanace (AMU comment during Zafra)
  • this is a list of rhythms
  • from phase 1 to 3
  • we could include a timeline
  • this is a narrative example/s of this section (how it would be in practice for different individua;s members of the NP)

WHAT IS UNCLEAR

this is only for potential disconauts engaged in a mentoring process?? do we need a list of chapters/topics of the mentoring programme at thsi stage? or a link to them? timeline

FEEDBACK

Discussion btw AM and ILdeV:

  • we talk about 2 types of mentoring:
    • stable mentoring, the "standard bearers", those belonging to different circles that make sure "the DisCO ways" are put into practice and maintained, as well as the value streams the organisation has (business model and specific LOVE and CARE work practices)
    • teachers, trainers, those who provide the initial mentoring/educational modules that teach the new recrutis the DisCO ways in general and the specific DisCO practices chosen/own by the organisation
  • this conversation led us to talk about the difference between internal DisCO training (DisCO.coop internal onboarding process, both mentoring/education and ongoing mentoring) and training members of other organisations that will lead the transformation inside theoir own collectives

WAY FORWARD

WHO WRITES

Completion of Stage 3 vs Full membership

  • Explain the diffs
    • As mentioned before, someone may complete all Dating Stages in 3 or 6 months, but 9 months is sufficient time to see whether relationshios work once the honey moon phase is over and true mutual support over common challenges is needed etc

Dating Phase TLDR

  • Go through whole section and make bullet point TLDR with indents

Being a DisCONaut

What do DisCONauts do?

  • (Mention Focusing for Mutual Support)

Giving Feedback

  • Don't be an ass, passive aggresive or give feedback on other members public channels. Approach the person directly

RED FLAG: In a DisCO.NP lovework is not tied to a specific set of deliverables, but to variables, such as when the deliverable is funded or not, or who is doing the deliverable (Dating member etc) We need to diagram this.
