They open the gates of opportunities and provide stories and other insights from their own professional as well as personal life that can prove fruitful to the mentee in their own challenges.

• Creating a rapport- Even if the mentors have interacted with their mentees before, it is a good way to spend the first few minutes indulging in a small talk so that mentees can open up. This is also a great strategy that allows mentors to evaluate the mentees’ mental state and, if necessary, initiate the conversation accordingly.
• Setting Agenda: Once mentors and mentees have established rapport, the mentors can move ahead to set the agenda for forthcoming conversation.

1. Explore
2. Assist the mentee in setting goals
3. Ensure accountability from mentees.

Any task assigned to the mentee should have some level of accountability on the mentees’ part. IT MUST HAVE.

• Closure: Finish your mentoring session always on a positive note, because this is where your mentor begins to feel slightly better than at the beginning of the session.
