What is your personal mission statement? At the core of you what are your values? What are your current goals? Are they consistent with your core values? If not can they be? What changes do you need to make in life & career to align your goals to your core values and personal mission statement? What short-term action steps can you take to move towards this? Ultimately your goals should lead you towards achieving a life you are fulfilled with. What does that mean for you? Your mentor should be your ally, sounding board and devil’s advocate for you to find your path.

What about things you struggle with? I always look at it as being an accountability partner. When I mentor, someone, I see what their goals are then, as we chat about everyday life and things that are going on, I keep reminding them of their goals and their vision. If you have a mentor, tap into the benefits. What are your struggles? Let them know, work out some ways you can grow, and let them hold you accountable. I hope this helps.
