Make it count
Tips for making the most of your session.
1: Go narrow
When choosing a mentor, look for a subject specialist not a generalist. You want someone who lives and breathes your sector and has experience either doing what you do, or working through the issues you are facing. Research them, try to understand what their strengths are and how they can benefit you.
2: One clear question
Alright, maybe two, but be specific. An hour can fly surprisingly fast, so have a clear idea of your key question or outcome. It’s OK to have an open-mind, but not having an idea of what you want to leave with means you risk missing the mark completely.
3: Be clear on your strategy
Know what you want to glean from your mentor, but also understand how this fits into your business strategy or creative journey. How can this conversation help move the needle on your career development, business or creative practice? Always be looking forward.

“Accountability is such a great idea. Mentorship is an eventual goal; until that's doable, this is an accessible way to get the thoughts out of your head (amongst people that understand) and hone focus in a quick burst.”
