Competency goals

Tie goals to your competency framework

Pick two or three competencies and set one piece of evidence for each.

A four line agenda

Bring a four line agenda

What you did, what you learned, where you are stuck and one decision.

  • What I did since last time
  • What I learned one line
  • Where I am stuck the hard part
  • One decision where I want advice

The view from outside

Use the view from outside

A mentor from another organization sees the sector, careers and judgment calls.

  • How do other firms handle this? Sector practice.
  • What would you weigh in this call? Professional judgment.

Your side of the deal

Keep your side of the agreement

Confidentiality and early notice of a conflict are your duties too.

  • Keep what they share private it works both ways
  • Raise conflicts early a new job, a shared client
  • Leave their employer out no inside questions
  • Come prepared the agenda, two days before

A good ending

End with evidence and thanks

Review each goal against its evidence and say specifically what helped.

  • Goals reviewed evidence for each
  • Done alone now what you no longer need help with
  • Thanks in specifics
  • After this fellow members
