Mentoring Meeting, circa 2002
Her: “So tell me about your interests.”
Me: “Umm. I like teaching. I like patient care. Ummm. . . “
Her: “Have you thought about particular aspects that you like?”
*silence*
Her: “Tell me this. . . Where do you see yourself in, say, 5 years?”

When I look back on my early meetings with mentors, there was so much I didn’t know that I'd tell myself if I could.
Like:
*How do I find a mentor?
*How do I know if we’re a good fit?
*What can I do to make the most of the relationship?
*Can I have more than one?
Sigh.

But you know what? When you know better, you do better. And you also pay it forward.
Let’s talk mentee-ing, shall we?
Me: “Hi, I really enjoyed your lecture. I was wondering if you might be willing to be my mentor?”
Person-who-never-met-me-before: “Say what now?”
