Set clear expectations
How you actually begin a mentoring relationship will largely depend on who you collaborate with. Make your intentions and expectations clear from the start. Together, you should discuss:
- What’s the objective of this mentorship? Is it to help them build a new skill or to learn more about a different generation?
- How will the mentoring be implemented? Should it be a one-time activity, last a few weeks, or be a long-term commitment?
- How will you measure your success? Is there a goal they are aiming to reach? How often will check in on progress?
