To make your meeting productive, plan to spend at least 30 minutes preparing. Think about the following:
- Task list: Were you able to complete your tasks? If not, why?
- Notes: Use the Notes section to reflect and write down your thoughts and ideas. If you keep a journal, go through it and reflect on what’s happened in your life and career since your last meeting.
- Goals: Are you on track to achieve your goals? Do you need to adjust them?
- New Issues: What new issues/questions do you want to discuss?
- Sessions: Schedule meetings and send an agenda at least a few days before.
- Set the agenda - An agenda or discussion topics give the meeting a clear purpose and help both partners stay on track.
To Schedule a Session, go to the Mentorship Tab and select View Relationship. You will see a button to propose a session. Fill out the information for the session. If both parties have synchronized their calendars, you can set up a date, time, topic and set an agenda for your session. You can also choose your preferred video conferencing platform so that you don’t have to set up new meetings every time you schedule a mentoring session.
