MENTORING PROPOSAL
The engagement runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a checkpoint before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · INTAKE AND GOAL-SETTING
A 90-minute intake session to understand the mentee's context, aspirations, and constraints. Closes with a written mentoring plan covering focus areas, measurable outcomes, and how progress will be tracked.
PHASE 2 · ONGOING MENTORING SESSIONS
Twelve bi-weekly 60-minute sessions focused on the plan, with structured agendas, tailored exercises, and async check-ins between sessions. The mentor curates readings, frameworks, and introductions as needs surface.
PHASE 3 · REFLECTION AND NEXT STEPS
A closing session to review progress against the plan, capture what worked, and hand over a written next-steps document the mentee can carry forward independently or into a renewed engagement.
Not included: formal training courses, external certifications, therapy or clinical counseling, and out-of-hours emergency support. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Mentoring Proposal template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries an overview with stat cards, objectives, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, start date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
