What mentoring isn’t – The Myths “Managers make good mentors” Mentees are unlikely to be fully open with their managers given their role in the performance and rewards process. “A mentor has to be older” While younger mentors may not possess the same scope of experience, they can offer a different skillset and/or perspective. “Mentors are teacher or trainers” A mentor is meant to facilitate not teach or train a mentee. “Having a mentor will increase your promotional potential” Having a mentor is likely to increase your performance, but there are no guarantees. “You only need one mentor” Different mentors can provide different learning for different purposes at different times.

Speed Mentoring: Format of the Evening The Mentee Handbook Be ready: Don’t spend precious minutes introducing yourself. Have a business card ready if you have one, quickly tell them who you are, what you do and where you are in your career. Be brief: Ask each Mentor one career related questions that they can answer in just a few minutes. Be respectful: This is not a job interview – but it could be the start of a beautiful relationship! Be a good listener: You are here to listen to the Mentors advice so be open to what they have to say. Be personal: Be career focused but also be prepared to share the kinds of personal details that count. Good things happen when people share professions and interests. Keep it moving: After 10 minutes the alarm will sound that signals it’s time to move one table along where you will meet your next mentor.
