What is MentorKey?

MentorKey is your personalised and hands-on companion, dedicated to assisting you throughout your sponsorship journey. Crafted by sponsorship experts, MentorKey provides a range of features aimed at helping you deliver the most impact in your interactions with your sponsee.

How does MentorKey add value to me as a sponsor?

As a sponsor, your role isn't to have all the answers, it's to create space for reflection, ask thoughtful questions, and support your sponsee in building clarity and confidence and working to advocate for your sponsee in meaningful ways. MentorKey gives you the tools to help make each session purposeful and impactful.

MentorKey features

MentorKey offers a personalised approach centred around five pillars that support sponsorship success:
  1. Ensuring your sponsee has set clear objectives
  2. Ask questions more than giving answers
  3. Provide a different perspective
  4. Set actions between sessions
  5. Sustain change

You'll use tools like Goals, Sessions, Keys and Actions to put these into practice.

Each aspect of success corresponds to a distinct feature within MentorKey:

  1. Ensuring your sponsee has set clear objectives: Goals
  2. Asking questions more than giving answers and provide a different perspective: Keys and Sessions - Preparation
  3. Set actions between sessions: Actions
  4. Sustain change: Sessions - Reflection

Navigating your way around MentorKey (home page)

The home page serves as your hub for accessing MentorKey's comprehensive features and offers a quick overview of your progress and activities on the platform.

My sponsee's goal records what your sponsee wants to focus on for your time together. Revisit these goals regularly to ensure each conversation stays aligned and relevant. You can also help your sponsee break down goals into actionable steps.

Sessions help you structure and reflect on your sponsorship meetings.

Before each session, check your sponsee's shared agenda and any completed Keys. Add your own agenda or notes to clarify where you want to focus. After each session, return to Sessions to capture key takeaways and plan next steps together.

Keys are guided frameworks designed to support deeper conversations.

Each Key explores a specific topic and helps you ask questions that encourage reflection and discovery. Completing a Key gives you a focused prompt for your next session. You can also review Keys completed by your sponsee to align your approach.

My actions is where you can view your assigned Actions. Use the Actions feature to ensure your sponseenstays accountable between sessions.

At the end of each conversation, confirm what actions your sponsee has committed to. At the start of the next, revisit those actions to track progress and continue building momentum.


Head to Your Next Steps to follow MentorKey's suggested path. It will guide you through reviewing your sponsee's goals, preparing for your first session, and exploring tools to support your sponsorship approach.
