How can I set effective goals for my mentoring program?

Setting effective goals involves identifying clear, measurable objectives that align with the needs of both mentors and mentees. What specific outcomes are you hoping to achieve?

I want to improve communication skills and career development for my mentees.

Great! You could set specific goals like 'increase mentee confidence in communication by 30% within six months' and 'help mentees identify three career paths by the end of the program.' How does that sound?

That sounds good! How often should I review these goals?

It's beneficial to review goals at least once a month. This allows you to track progress and make adjustments as needed. Would you like tips on how to conduct these reviews?

Yes, please! What should I focus on during the reviews?

Focus on progress towards the goals, any challenges faced, and feedback from both mentors and mentees. This will help you refine the program.
