Rona is also known as the Chicago Tech Connector and has some advice on the art of mentoring and how to find that perfect mentor who will have a positive impact on your life.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Rona Borre discuss the following:
- As a mentor, do you do icebreakers to start a session in order to learn more about your mentee?
- Do you share past stories of success and hardship from current or past career roles?
- Did you always envision being a mentor? Is this something that has evolved throughout your career path?
- Was there ever a job that you desired, applied for and got, but then you were not qualified? What did you draw upon within yourself to overcome these obstacles?
- If one was to have a job where there was a difficult boss, how would you recommend handling the situation?
- How do you teach your mentees to become more assertive negotiators and what skills would they need?
- Are you able to assess your mentee’s strengths and weaknesses and how do you show them what to focus on in order to improve?
