Creating your Mentoring Action Plan
A key component of your Mentoring Action Plan is setting your goals so you can follow a clear path and assess your progress along the way. Download the linked document if you need help writing up your personal vision statement, establishing specific and realistic goals, setting deadlines, and developing an action plan.
Personal Vision Statement
We also suggest that you jot down your thoughts (or develop a few paragraphs) of a vision statement. That statement may be specific to the mentoring context/goals or may be broader and related to seeking mentorship. The linked document contains some questions you can use to prompt the note-taking.
SMART Goals
As you set goals, it is extremely important that you make them achievable. The linked document uses a popular framework with the acronym SMART to help you develop your goals.
