We're excited to kick off our series with the first practical skills session, focusing on what you need to know about your mentee and their business to enhance your mentoring effectiveness. 

This interactive session will guide you through several crucial areas:

• Assessing Mentor-Mentee Fit: Learn how to determine if you are the right business mentor for your mentee and what qualities to look for in a successful mentoring relationship.
• First Session Preparation: Discover the key information to gather before your initial meeting and how to use this information to set the stage for a productive mentoring relationship.
• Effective Information Use: Explore strategies for leveraging the details you obtain to tailor your mentoring approach and provide relevant guidance.
• Session Topics: Identify which topics should be covered in the early sessions and how to plan for ongoing discussions.
• Business and Personal Boundaries: Understand how to navigate the boundaries between professional and personal matters in your mentoring relationship.
• Avoiding Pitfalls: Be aware of common challenges and pitfalls in mentoring and learn strategies to avoid them.

The session will include interactive exercises and discussions in breakout rooms with two to three other participants. This hands-on approach will provide you with practical experience and refreshed insights on the importance of gathering and using the right information to practice effective business mentoring. By the end of the session, you'll be well-equipped to foster a successful mentoring relationship and drive meaningful results.
