What does being a mentee look like with ICAN?

How to be a good mentee A mentee is a person who receives advice, training and/or guidance from a more experienced individual known as a mentor over a period of time, and in a manner that supports the mentee’s professional development. If you are searching for a mentor for the first time, this will be a new and exciting challenge for you. Our advice is to ensure that you commit to getting the most out of the mentor-mentee relationship through appropriate preparation and follow up actions. Remember that as the mentee, you should take the initiative in planning each session with your mentor, preparing your questions, and communicating clearly.

What does being a mentor look like with ICAN?

How to be a good mentor A mentor is an experienced individual who can offer knowledge, and advice to others with less experience in those areas, over a period of time, and in a manner that supports the mentee’s professional development. If you are registering as a mentor for the first time, this will be a new and exciting challenge for you. Our advice is to try to be a good listener/sounding board, be flexible, value diversity of perspectives, be knowledgeable, non-judgmental and be able to give open, honest and constructive feedback. This will support your mentoring relationship and help both you and the mentee get the most out of the mentorship.
