Establishing clear goals in a mentoring relationship

Establishing clear goals in a mentoring relationship

Defined goals transform broad aspirations into actionable steps. For mentees, they clarify what they aim to achieve, while mentors can offer focused guidance tailored to those aims. This intentional approach not only measures progress but also energizes the relationship, ensuring the relationship evolves meaningfully rather than stagnating.
