- Tips and tools for getting the most from your mentoring relationship
As a mentee you can approach your mentor to discuss issues and ideas. You may want feedback or advice or a chance to get something off your chest. Through the questioning of the mentor, you may achieve a greater clarity about a situation or see a different perspective.
Whatever is discussed, however, it is YOU who makes the decisions and takes any actions required. YOU are responsible for your decisions and actions.
Mentees who get the most from the mentoring relationship are:
- Motivated
- Proactive
- Open minded
- Self-directing
- Introspective
- Self-disciplined
- Enthusiastic
- Communicative
- Appreciative
