How can I overcome challenges in mentoring?

Overcoming challenges in mentoring often involves clear communication, setting expectations, and being adaptable. What specific challenges are you facing?

I find it hard to connect with my mentee.

Building rapport can take time. Have you tried finding common interests or setting informal meetings to get to know each other better?

Yes, but it still feels forced.

It's normal for connections to take time. Consider focusing on active listening and showing genuine interest in their goals.

That makes sense. What if they don't open up?

If they’re hesitant, try creating a safe space by sharing your own experiences first. This can encourage them to share.
