Form with which the secretary of a corporation notifies all necessary parties of the date, time, and place of the first stockholder's meeting.
Introductions: - Share your background, education, and current role or situation. - Ask your mentor about their career path and experiences. Goals and Expectations: - Discuss what you hope to achieve through the mentorship. Mentor's Expertise: - Inquire about your mentor's areas of expertise and interests.
Preparing for and Structuring Your First Mentor Meeting Build rapport: learn about each other, discuss personal and professional history, look for common ground. Discuss mentoring topics: such as skill-related, career story, situational advice, and leadership topics.
Personalized message: Reach out with a concise and respectful message. Introduce yourself, explain why you admire their work, and express your desire for mentorship. Dear (Mentor's Name), I hope this message finds you well. My name is (Your Name), and I am (a brief introduction about yourself and your background).
Introduce yourself, express admiration for their work, specify your goals, and request guidance in a concise and polite manner. Your introduction needs to include your purpose statement. Let your mentor know why you're reaching out, and why them.
Provide context to help your mentor understand you. Share your professional goals and, as relevant, your life situation. Although your mentor doesn't need to know everything about you, openly share your hopes and fears. Ask direct questions to learn more about your mentor's experiences.
What are you looking for in this mentoring relationship? What do you hope to gain? What can I do to support the way that you work or think? How do you like to communicate and how would you like to be communicated with?
If you don't yet know exactly what help you need, that's fine... but let them know. They will know a bit about you already, but you should be prepared to start the conversation by saying something like ``Should I tell you why I signed up for a mentor?'' Allow them an easy opt-out at any point.
An email or call to your mutual connection asking for an introduction should be short and simple. Tell them you have set some goals related to (name the area of your life you chose earlier) and you understand that (potential mentor) could be a great person to help you grow in that direction.
