Mentoring Session Basics

Make mentoring sessions useful

This guide outlines how mentors and mentees can define objectives, prepare agendas, keep sessions focused, and capture follow-ups for progress.

Align on goals

State what success looks like and timelines for the mentorship.

Come prepared

Bring 2-3 topics or questions; share context before the meeting when possible.

Timebox and focus

Keep sessions to the agenda, parking tangents for later.

End with actions

Agree on 1-3 next steps with owners and dates; revisit at the next session.
