For example:

  • By helping you to reflect on your current situation and focus areas

  • Being a sounding board for ideas and concerns

  • Sharing their knowledge, experience and toolkit

  • Making connections to relevant people and resources

  • Challenging and providing accountability

  • You will be matched with a mentor whose skills and experience overlap with your current needs. Together with your mentor you will work towards identifying focus areas and achieving a goal(s).

To make the best use of this relationship you need to be ready for new or different ideas, be responsible for your own learning and actions and, respect your mentor’s time by being prepared for sessions.
