Set Goals Before Meeting With Your Mentor

19 Jan

Knowing what you want from a mentoring relationship is critical. Before you sit down with your mentor for the first time, decide what you hope to learn. Ask yourself what you want in work and life. Which assets will help you get there? Identify the strengths that will best serve you. Then, honestly examine the roadblocks, challenges, or weaknesses that are slowing you down. Once you do that you’re ready to articulate your goals and share them with your mentor. Keep it to no more than five goals, so they don’t detract from what your mentor has to offer.
