Won't You Be My Mentor?

How to Set Up a Mentoring Agreement

We often have many mentors throughout our lives, some of them casual relationships and others more formal with specific goals. To get the most out of your mentorship, it's helpful to create a mentorship agreement that clearly outlines expectations, says Neen James, productivity expert and speaker.

In writing your agreement, James offers these suggestions:

  • Create a vision of what you want to learn and draft an outline. Make a list of your expectations—the experience you hope to gain from your mentor—to help formulate your goals.
  • Review your overall vision to identify specific goals. A list of goals will give focus to the mentoring relationship.
  • Realize the mentor doesn't do the work for you. You do it yourself. The mentor's role is to share experience, but you do the hard work.
  • What will be the length of time for the mentoring relationship? Set a specific time frame to give the mentorship a sense of focus or urgency that it might not have otherwise.

Here's a simple formula:
When in doubt, just do what you don't want to do—that's usually exactly what you should do. Take the path of MOST resistance.

Put it this way: If you are disappointed in any area of your life, whatever choices you have been making aren't working.

Definition of insanity:
Doing the same things you've always done and expecting different results.

Here is the force you are fighting: You and your brain are creatures of habit. You simply talk yourself into taking the easy, low resistance and comfortable route. Like the pull of a rushing river, your unconscious habits continue to take you downstream in the wrong direction. To change your direction you will need to...
