Mentee Expectation   –       What to Anticipate from Your Mentor in the Context of Africans in  Diasporan Mentoring Scheme

A mentor for nationals in diasporans typically brings extensive business acumen, leadership skills or specialized knowledge in areas such as NIDMECORP diverse industries from the experts and mentors ranging from education, health, finance, governance, economy or business and peace advocacies. When engaging with a mentor, it’s essential to have clear expectations regarding the support they can provide and the boundaries of their role.

Your Mentor Will:

– Provide friendly, impartial support throughout your journey.

– Offer honest and constructive feedback to aid in your personal (academic) and business development.

– Act as a sounding board for ideas and decisions.

– Assist in decision-making by suggesting alternatives based on personal experiences.

– Introduce you to valuable contacts and networks for personal and business growth.

– Extend ongoing support and encouragement where possible.

– End any further engagement if any boundaries in place are being explored or broken.

Your Mentor Will Not:

– Provide educational guidance, and counselling services, as their role is focused on development principles, education and business mentoring.

– Offer specific technical educational, lifestyle (professional), and business advice typically provided by expert business advisers at cost.

– Function as a training service provider.

– Engage in coaching and mentoring services related to specific business tasks, goals, and objectives.
