1 Be clear about your goals

Before you start a mentorship, it is important to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve, learn, or improve from the experience. This will help you communicate your expectations, needs, and interests to your mentor, and also help them tailor their guidance and feedback to your goals. You can use mindfulness to reflect on your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges, and to set realistic and specific objectives for your growth.

In my perspective, mentoring isn't just exchanging information; it's an active process where mindfulness is pivotal. Mindfulness unlocks profound self-awareness, helping set meaningful goals. This synergy of mentoring and mindfulness enriches growth and leadership.

A lot of times, helping gain clarity of goals is also the purpose of the mentor. Aligning with self is key to the goal setting. Mindfulness only works when a person understands the importance of turning inward and a mentor can create an environment enabling such an exercise. It's cyclic and an ongoing journey.

2 Be open and curious

One of the key benefits of having a mentor is that they can offer you a different perspective, insight, or advice that you may not have considered before. To make the most of this, you need to be open and curious about what they have to say, and willing to try new things, experiment, and learn from mistakes. You can use mindfulness to cultivate a beginner's mind, which means approaching every situation with curiosity, openness, and eagerness, rather than with preconceptions, judgments, or assumptions.

I help people who are afraid of bedtime, knowing that their mind will still be going a mile a minute instead of sleeping, to learn how to achieve a satisfying good night's sleep regularly.

I have found having a mentor invaluable for me. I am eager to ask questions, receive advice, and learn from my mistakes. My mentor has many great ideas and suggestions that I learn from. The best part for me is when I can take what my mentor says and make it my own, do it in my own way. Then the knowledge and the skills are truly my own. I love being able to pass along the knowledge and experience that I have gained to others. That is so rewarding. I owe much of my success as a therapist in private practice for forty years now to my mentor. If you don't have one, do yourself a favor, find someone wise and more experienced than you and ask them to mentor you.

3 Be respectful and appreciative

A mentorship is a voluntary and generous act of sharing one's time, knowledge, and experience with someone else. Therefore, it is important to show respect and appreciation for your mentor, and to acknowledge their efforts and contributions to your development. You can use mindfulness to express gratitude, which means being aware of and thankful for the positive aspects of your mentorship, such as the lessons learned, the feedback received, the opportunities created, or the support given.

4 Be honest and accountable

A mentorship is also a mutual and reciprocal relationship, which means that you have responsibilities and obligations as a mentee. You need to be honest and accountable for your actions, decisions, and progress, and to communicate regularly and effectively with your mentor. You can use mindfulness to practice self-awareness, which means being honest with yourself and your mentor about your strengths, weaknesses, challenges, successes, and failures, and to take responsibility for your own learning and growth.

5 Be flexible and adaptable

A mentorship is not a fixed or static relationship, but a dynamic and evolving one, that may change over time depending on your goals, needs, interests, and circumstances. You need to be flexible and adaptable to the changes that may occur, and to adjust your expectations, plans, and strategies accordingly. You can use mindfulness to practice acceptance, which means being able to accept the reality of the present moment, without resisting, denying, or clinging to it, and to adapt to the changing conditions with ease and grace.

One of the benefits of mentoring to mentors is the joy and satisfaction of knowing that their advice and information really made a positive impact in their mentee's career. So always update them with any positive progress you can attribute to them, whether it be an insight, new connection, or job/internship offer. Good mentors often turn into lifelong friends after repeated sharing and support.
