"We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience." -John Dewey
The Reflective Mentee
“Vital Signs” of successful mentoring relationships: respect, responsiveness, and accountability
- Respect: Mutual respect is the starting and sustaining aspect of a successful mentoring relationship. Professional and personal appreciation of one another is core to enhancing learning.
- Responsiveness: Your willingness to learn from your mentor and your mentor’s willingness to respond to your learning needs are important for successful collaboration.
- Accountability: Once you and your mentor establish mutually held goals and expectations, keeping your agreements strengthens trust and helps maintain a positive relationship (Neal, 2011).
