Mentoring
1 min readApr 14, 2017
I want to make mentoring a habit, but I don’t know where to start. Ideally it looks like this:
- There’s a way for me to contribute content that might be broadly useful, like the story of getting a job at Google, publishing a research paper, or how I started caring about dense urban cities.
- I replace my daily facebook and news time, instead learning about what my mentees and potential future mentees are up to.
- There’s a larger, weekly, chunk of time for 1:1 interaction over video chat or in person. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the same person every week, but it should be something that repeats so I don’t just meet with someone once.
- There’s a feedback system that helps me become a better mentor and my mentees become better mentees.
If this resonates with you, or you know of something like this, please reach out. I’d love to chat.
