Speech_bubbles_two  Begin Mentorship: The get-to-know-you meeting

The first meeting is to get to know each other and to clarify basic questions about the  mentorship, in particular: 

  • For what period of time is the mentorship planned? 
  • How many meetings should there be in the period? 
  • What kind and frequency of contact is fine for both sides?

We recommend to agree right at the first meeting also a rough content plan for the individual meetings. The topics arise thereby from the application details of the mentee and the offers of the mentor.

Important: Mentees should make notes on the discussed agreements right away. They will need these for the mentoring agreement.
