Mentees invest time preparing for these sessions; therefore, try to prevent other demands from bumping the session from your calendar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Set aside time and space. Ensure that you will be uninterrupted during the mentoring session.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Prepare for the session. Review any email correspondence and notes you may have from previous sessions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Give full attention to the mentee. Let go of other urgencies and stresses, clear your mind and focus on helping the mentee during the session.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Communicate through active listening. Focus fully on the mentee and show active verbal and non-verbal signs of listening.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Share resources. Consider and collect any resources that might be useful to the mentee.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Share experiences.

Share your ideas, concerns and professional goals. Your mentor will then be able to put your situation in perspective.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Be prepared and punctual for your mentoring sessions. You are responsible for establishing the agenda for the conversation. You might even email topics to the mentor ahead of time, if you think the mentor would appreciate it. At the beginning of each session, provide a brief update on progress since the last conversation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">You are responsible for initiating all contact with your mentor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Establish a mutually agreeable plan for mentoring sessions. Schedule the sessions on your calendar and build in enough time around the sessions to prepare. Your mentor is a volunteer whose extra time is scarce. By ensuring that conversations start and end on time, you will demonstrate respect and responsibility.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Focus on the relationship, rather than outcomes. Your mentor&#8217;s role is not to get you a job; it is to share valuable experience with you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Ask direct questions about what you most want to know. You are responsible for ensuring the conversation meets your needs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Be curious and ask questions. Don&#8217;t be shy about asking, &#8220;What was that like for you?&#8221; or, &#8220;How did you feel at the time?&#8221; Ask a question or two at the start of each session to get<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">to know your mentor&#8217;s experiences, such as, &#8220;I&#8217;d love to learn about your career path&#8221; or, &#8220;What have you learned about how\u00a0 to achieve professional success?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Take notes. Capture ideas and insights from the session and in between sessions. Include the commitments you and your mentor make to each other so you are able to follow up. It is<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">discouraging for the mentor if you make commitments you don&#8217;t act upon.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Respect your mentor&#8217;s boundaries. Outside of the session, most mentors have very limited time to engage with mentees. Be careful not to inundate your mentor with emails or phone<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">calls.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Say thank you! Remember to thank your mentor after each session and convey your appreciation for specific insights or examples that helped you. This information will let your mentor know more about what you value and how he or she is making a difference for you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Labani Dey&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2506&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Mentors&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Sanjib Roy&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2383&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Hello,\u00a0 Dear Law students,\u00a0 This is your mentoring scheme, where mentors will be assigned to you for an hour each appointment .
