After enrolling with Project-Mentors™ and familiarising yourself with our terms and conditions, we will have a brief online gathering, referred to as a chemistry meeting, to determine how we should move forward with the mentor partnership and decide what steps to take next.**

ARE YOU READY FOR A MENTOR?

When we agree on what a mentor should bring to the table, it is a two way partnership, whereby the mentee must be open for mentoring in the first place.

Here we use the research from Carol Dweck about growth mindset to explain that a mentee needs the understanding that it is possible to learn new things, to have choices, and with time and effort, anything can be learned and achieved.

Being a mentee is not just receiving pats on the shoulder, its is to roll up the sleeves and take action. Ultimately the result counts. But we emphasise on smart actions with agile and hybrid methods to implement small daily increments and compound achievements over weeks and months.

As a mentee

• You must be willing to look inside yourself. Every change starts with yourself.
• Self-awareness and willingness to see the blind spots is a critical stepping stone to move forward.
• Honesty and telling all the facts are the foundation to build a monument.
• you must be prepared for the mentoring sessions
• ask for – and implement – feedback
• be respectful of the mentor’s time as this is a reflection of your own value of time
