January is National Mentoring Month, and we think it's the perfect time to put yourself first. Take time to assess where you are in your career, where you’re headed and who can help you get there!
We encourage you to take full advantage of your CAMP mentoring connection as you make plans for a productive 2023. In order to make sure your mentoring relationships is prepared for what's to come, we offer these tips:
Be an initiator. Mentoring whether virtual or in-person has always required a level of intentionality and accountability to succeed. Together, mentor and mentee should be deciding what to focus on in their connection, so that both parties feel they are getting true value.
Meet your partner where they are. Mentoring relationships don't have to be all business. Check in with your partner and make sure you understand their needs and are providing that space and level of understanding. Revisit the cadence of your meetings, as well as the tools you're using.
Reassess your goals. The goals you had last January or February might look very different from the world you know now. Revisit why you engaged in mentoring in the first place. Adjust your milestones to meet your new normal.
We've updated our mentoring plans and added some new ones to provide your mentoring pairs with a 2023 refresh! Also, join us for one of our many free CLE events to learn and grow as a mentoring pair.
Together, you can help each other to create new plans and opportunities for the year ahead.
