You Be A Good Mentee Too is for people at work who are being mentored: new starters, people in a new role, and anyone who has asked someone more experienced to walk alongside them.
It helps you make the most of a mentoring relationship and grow faster through it, by bringing a teachable spirit, working hard, asking good questions, taking responsibility and looking after the relationship itself.
You receive a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. Each A4 card has a theme, a short description and an image on the front, and on the back a gathering of quotes from many voices and wisdom traditions, with room to write your own notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book with a clickable contents page and a dedication written for you. The themes follow nine mentee qualities: Positive, Enthusiastic Attitude; Learns from Experience and Wisdom; Teachable, Welcomes Feedback; Works Hard; Asks Questions, Asks for Help; Responsible; Works on Relationship; Earns Benefits of Mentoring; and Accepts Mentor As Is.
On WorkSmart4Life it is included in the moment pack New Starters and sits on the WorkSmart library shelf. Each card invites you to reflect on its quotes and choose one that speaks to you today. I suggest you begin with the first quality, Positive, Enthusiastic Attitude, and take a card along to your next meeting with your mentor.
