How can you build a mentoring relationship with someone you don't know well?

Para mí la clave del éxito de un proceso de mentoring, coaching o formación es que la persona se muestre responsable de su viaje. Es decir, se comprometa con el proyecto. Muchas veces hay profesionales que creen no necesitar ningún tipo de acompa?amiento y empresas que prácticamente "obligan" a estos y por tanto esto difícilmente funcionará. En segundo lugar es muy importante en la relación profesional mentor-mentee que se genere un espacio de confianza. Para mí esta es la segunda variable esencial para que el mentoring o cualquier actividad de acompa?amiento tenga éxito. Por último, apreciar y celebrar cada peque?o éxito del mentee ayudará no solo a afianzar los conocimientos también lo empoderará para continuar aprendiendo y mejorando.

1. As a mentee, begin by clearly defining your area of interest. This could be a specific need, a burning desire, or a professional aspiration. Understanding and articulating this area is the first step towards establishing what you seek from the mentoring relationship. 2. Work with your mentor to collect signals, analyze symptoms, and examine behavioral patterns related to these interests. 3. Set a clear goal or ‘target state’ with your mentor - a tangible representation of your learning objectives, career aspirations, or personal development needs. 4. Visualize the path - the steps required to achieve this goal. Remember, the pace of growth depends not just on talent and enthusiasm but significantly on discipline.

Pray and seek God for the direction on those you don't know. His guidance helps each moment! When you trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; then in all your ways knowledge Him and He will direct thy path each step you take in making decisions will become easier!

Building a mentoring relationship with someone you don't know well requires a willingness to connect on a deeper level. Clearly define your goals and expectations for the relationship. A successful mentoring relationship is a two-way street. By nurturing the connection, you can accelerate your professional journey.

Sometimes the goals are not clear. One may benefit from identifying the level of the desire and motivation by applying this simple ladder of the coaching&mentoring request evolution: 1. symptom 2. problem 3. wish 4. request Mentee may not approach a mentor with ready goals, but at least with awareness of the type of challenge and its level. This will be the starting point for them to collaborate and mentor is capable to navigate from lower levels up to the request and goal.

From my experience (and it is applicable also to coaching and therapy), it helps a lot to frame the acceptable and matching approach / method. To do so, approaching your near circle for experience and reflections can provide strong insights. Once the search are is narrowed down - one may proceed with the exploration of the individuals available.

Embrace the uncomfortable feeling and be vulnerable. There is no harm that can come from asking, but take it slow. Ask someone for a first conversation to learn more about their work and interests.

Look inside for the emotional response to the mentor you are approaching: on one hand you should feel safe with confidence and competence of the person, on the other hand - mentorship is not a spa center, so (at least for me) mentor should not radiate the feeling of the junior school teacher. Don't hesitate sharing your concerns or negative experience of previous endeavours with the potential mentor - this will help the expert with walking you through the limitations to the essence of work you desire.

One more indicator of experienced mentor to add: they often send out some surveys or questionaries, asking to fill them in prior to the first working session. Mentor who takes care of collecting the anamnesis is not just more detailed oriented, but also respects the mutual time of the live set.

Ask questions! Questions that mentor receives from a mentee is the navigation tool. Questions help to validate the level of comprehension, the vector of thoughts and the perspective on the challenge being worked on. I suggest to have 2-3 calibration events (15-20 minutes long) for the course of 3-4 month long mentorship. The purpose is to tune the approach, including the pace, dynamics, clarity of explanations, types of examples. It just works better when not sticked together with the work sessions so that the contexts don't mix.

1. Listen to your mentor even if it's hard to hear the truth 2. Do your homework. 3. Regularly update your mentor on implemented changes. This will foster a dynamic, two-way relationship between you and your mentor.
