A great mentor can open doors, inspire you, and accelerate your growth — but the results also depend on how you approach the experience.
Here’s how to make sure every session counts.

1. Come Prepared

  • Review notes or materials from your last session.

  • Bring specific questions or topics you want to cover.

  • Have any required resources or project files ready before the session starts.


2. Set Clear Goals Together

  • Agree on short-term and long-term objectives with your mentor.

  • Use your Learner Type Test results to shape strategies that work best for you.

  • Revisit goals regularly to track progress and make adjustments.


3. Take Initiative

  • Don’t wait for your mentor to assign tasks — suggest ideas and projects that interest you.

  • Apply what you’ve learned between sessions to real-life situations or personal projects.


4. Be Open to Feedback

  • Treat feedback as an opportunity, not criticism.

  • Ask clarifying questions if advice is unclear.

  • Reflect on feedback and act on it before your next session.


5. Keep the Momentum Going

  • Maintain consistent session schedules whenever possible.

  • Continue exploring new learning areas and projects beyond your main focus.

  • Celebrate small wins to stay motivated.


💡 Tip: The more actively you engage, the more your mentor can guide you beyond what you thought possible.
