Introduction to Session Agendas

Session Agendas are resources that help you prepare before your mentorship meeting, guide you during your meeting, and provide ideas on ways to follow up and review after your meeting. Our research has found that matches who utilize Session Agendas tend to have more effective mentoring relationships, as they ensure both parties come prepared and understand the expectations set for each meeting.

While we encourage you to use the Session Agendas for each meeting, we understand that every mentoring relationship is unique. Therefore, you have the flexibility to review your content or focus on other topics. Just be sure to communicate any changes to your agenda with your mentee or mentor before your meeting.

Moreover, you have the ability to edit and create your agendas. Users can personalize these agendas before their meeting and use the same document to note what was discussed after the meeting, making each session as productive as possible.

Personal Session Notes 💬

Under each session, you'll find a designated Notes section located just below the areas for Session Feedback and the session's agenda. This is a private space where you can jot down any observations, thoughts, or reminders related to the session. These notes are personal and accessible only to you, ensuring privacy. They are not visible to your mentee or mentor. You can return to this section at any time to review or edit your notes, making it a flexible tool for personal reflection and record-keeping.

Note: Personal Session Notes are not used to generate Personalized Agenda.
