You can learn something new from a stranger. But to relearn something about yourself, you need a mentor!
At the ‘Mentoring 101’ workshop that I facilitated at the @ Women in Economics Network Mentoring forum last week, I had the opportunity to address a group of mentors and mentees about learning to build a structure and scaffolding for mentoring partnerships
We worked towards:
- Agreeing on certain essentials while setting goals.
- Working out the frequency of meetings and collectively consenting on what stays confidential.
- Being open to receiving critical feedback and brainstorming on what can be done to work on it.
- Outlining overarching goals together, via a paired activity.
Thank you Namrata Nair for this opportunity. I look forward to staying connected with the WEN Team.
Wishing the mentees and mentors all the success in this partnership and more!
