How can I overcome challenges in my mentoring relationship?

It's great that you're seeking to improve your mentoring relationship! What specific challenges are you facing?

I feel like my mentor doesn't understand my goals.

That can be tough. Have you tried discussing your goals with your mentor directly?

Not yet, I'm worried it might upset them.

It's understandable to feel that way. However, open communication is key. You could frame it positively by expressing your appreciation for their guidance first.

That makes sense. I’ll give it a try!

That's a great approach! Remember, a good mentor will appreciate your honesty and want to help you succeed.
