I’m always the one reaching out to my mentors. Feels one sided. Would be nice for them to check on me. Am I doing this mentorship thing wrong? Is this how it works?

Are they formally your mentor? Do you have discussed how the mentoring would work? Frequency of calls? Topics you need mentoring with? Asking because I was in a similar mindset few years ago before realizing that I had never set the mentoring program in formal. Once I did, and started making it more formal with my mentors accountable (some of them actually declined for formal mentoring because they did not have space, but the few remaining have been great in actually help me progress my professional development) it became way more easier to manage and also I could see the results. I am a very Type A person who needs to see KPI and probably not the best suggestion given in the pharma land many are more relationship based mentoring.
