How can I overcome anxiety when meeting my mentor?

It's common to feel anxious before meeting a mentor. Have you identified what specifically makes you anxious?

I think it's the fear of not meeting their expectations.

That’s understandable. Remember, mentors are there to help you grow. Have you considered discussing your feelings with them?

Not really, I thought it might make me look unprofessional.

Actually, being open about your feelings can strengthen your relationship. Most mentors appreciate honesty.

That makes sense. I’ll try to be more open next time. Thanks!

You're welcome! Good luck, and remember, it's a learning experience for both of you.
