'Remote IT Mentoring and How to Use it for Effective Collaboration' mentoring mentorship
When I started my blog, I got more systematic about finding mentees — I need more contact with people similar to my readers so that I can write relevant articles. In the past six months, I’ve met with about 10 people. With some, it was a one-off consultation; with others, we continued for some time. In this article, I share my current collaboration plan to make sure mentees can progress with their goals and that our time is spent efficiently.
Probably the biggest impact of mentoring is in spending time thinking about your career. Just explaining your current situation and the options available to you can help a lot. Similarly, just as explaining your programming issue to a teddy bear can give you the clarity to fix it yourself, you can expect a similar effect when thinking about your career.When I’m not completely convinced about my approach to a given problem, I like discussing it with someone else.
I expect the same result for mentees: when your mentor explains to you all the benefits of learning one thing, it should be way easier to just focus on your studies and avoid paralysis by analysis.Finally, mentoring can lead to original contributions from your mentor. Thanks to their experience, they should be able to see some possibilities you were not aware of.
In this way, for the long-term contact, the initiative is on the mentee’s side. I think this is the correct approach because it’s the mentee who has to put all the effort into execution plans — and, ideally, they who receive the most benefits. I’m never bothered by my mentees getting quiet for a long time — they have different obligations. Learning takes time, and often there is not much change from week to week, or from month to month. It’s pretty normal to go quiet for some weeks or months — no apology or excuse is needed. As a mentee, feel free to restart the contract, even if you were silent for a very long time.
