But, in order to be successful, mentoring relationships require a commitment from both parties from the outset, involving regular contact as agreed by both parties.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In terms of what is expected from each role:</span></p> <h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Role of the Mentee</span></i></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The mentee should set the agenda for the mentorship, enabling mentees to take ownership of their own development with the support and guidance of their mentor. Mentorships are most effective when mentees are open, honest and receptive to their mentors in order to extract the required information which will benefit them.</span></p> <h3><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Role of the Mentor</span></i></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The mentorship should be driven by the mentee’s personal and professional development, with the mentor empowering the mentee by facilitating the mentee’s self-appraisal, establishing facts, sign-posting, and giving information and advice drawing on their own experience, expertise and knowledge.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mentors should encourage mentees to take responsibility for their own development by enabling mentees to self-reflect, clarify understanding, challenge assumptions, consider different perspectives, make decisions and set their own objectives.</span></p> <h3></h3> </div> </div> </div> <div class="flex__callout_accordion__item"> <button class="flex__callout_accordion__item-button"><h3>Mentoring Resources</h3></button> <div class="flex__callout_accordion__item-content"> <div class="flex__callout_accordion__item-content-inner"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Mentoring Scheme Guidance Document, which can be found </span><a href="https://www.stm-assoc.org/wp-content/uploads/Mentoring-Guidance-Document-2023.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A </span><a href="https://youtu.be/P6tTlz09dLQ"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mentoring Training Webinar</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from March 2023 is available, along with associated </span><a href="https://www.stm-assoc.org/wp-content/uploads/STM-Mentoring-Slides-2023-1.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">PDF version of the presentation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the course of the scheme, there will be several opportunities to virtually meet with other mentors and mentees.

It helps to keep the good people!”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I like the freedom you have actually to make the relationship between mentor and mentee what you want it. I think it works better this way and you build a unique experience that is really relevant to you.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think I must have just gotten really lucky, but I LOVE my mentor. She has been amazing. The most important thing that made it work, I think, was that everything we talk about is confidential, staying between just us. This enabled a very open, honest mentor/mentee relationship.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Whilst going into the scheme with key goals in mind, I’ve learnt far more than I could have imagined as both a mentor and a mentee.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is great how you choose the partners, it always fits :)”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s been a fantastic opportunity to connect with someone in a different part of the world, working in a different department and company, but yet still be able to add value, and prove that remote working relationships can work!!”</span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="flex__callout_accordion__item"> <button class="flex__callout_accordion__item-button"><h3>Becoming a mentor or mentee</h3></button> <div class="flex__callout_accordion__item-content"> <div class="flex__callout_accordion__item-content-inner"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">STM provides a unique development opportunity for individuals by facilitating a mentor programme.
