A Mentor's GUIDE TO
MAXIMIZING YOUR EXPERIENCE
The mentoring relationship works best when the mentor:
- Identifies a student’s goals and encourages the student toward his/her goals
- Provides honest and constructive feedback
- Helps the student develop self-awareness
- Challenges the student to grow beyond his/her perceived limitations
- Introduces the student to other community professionals
- Motivates the student to join professional organizations that can help him/her advance
- Listens to the student
- Facilitates communications with the student
The Executive Partners Program provides all mentors with a Mentor’s Guide, which contains instructions, tactics and mentoring strategies to make the process as enjoyable as possible. Email ocob-online@calpoly.edu if you would like an electronic copy of the Mentor’s Guide.
