I’ve been asked to mentor a young girl. One of the objectives is to build her confidence in her abilities. It’s quite a compliment from management, however, I’ve never mentored anyone officially. Any advice that will help me be successful? I have an introductory meeting with her this Wednesday.

How old is this person because "young girl" sounds like you're mentoring a 6 year old.

Haha she’s early to mid 20s. Guess I meant young woman. I’m not mentoring a child

I usually talk about my experiences and offer some tips. I think it’s good to listen a lot too, especially with a topic like ‘confidence’. Many times confidence is perceived by others to be the issue but how the person experiences it can be stemming from something different.

Anyone else feel like as you move up, you have to work even harder to justify your value to your company as you grow “out of the weeds”? Especially with the fear of layoffs looming over everyone’s heads.

Nice bowl to avoid lowering the average in the US-centric threads. Anybody else finding that with the lack of pay rises this year, it’s become even harder to benchmark? Had a few recruiters recently suggesting I’d get 25% more by moving to a competitor but no telling whether that’s a short term-gain for a longer term hit.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.
