How can I improve my relationship with my mentor?

Building a strong mentor-mentee relationship involves open communication, trust, and mutual respect. Have you discussed your goals with your mentor?

Not really, I’m not sure how to start that conversation.

You could start by expressing your appreciation for their guidance and then share your aspirations. This sets a positive tone.

That sounds good! What if I feel like I'm not getting enough feedback?

You can ask for specific feedback on your work or progress. Frame it as a desire to grow and improve, which mentors usually appreciate.

Thanks! I’ll try that. Any tips on maintaining the relationship long-term?

Regular check-ins, expressing gratitude, and being open about your challenges can help maintain a strong relationship over time.
