36:34 Quora Q:
I am not sure what to talk about with my mentor/mentee. What are some common topics?
A: Common topics mentees seek to work on with their mentors often include communication skills, leadership skills, networking, work/life balance, learning organizational culture and management skills.
Communication skills can include active listening/hearing, trigger words in a conversation, body language, crucial conversations, etc.
Leadership skills can include how to motivate employees, the difference between being a “boss†and being a leader. I work with a lot of new managers/leaders to get them to reflect on their past week to see what went well, what didn’t go well and what will we do differently next time.
A common concern of a lot of people today is the aspect of work/life balance especially with more and more people working from home. It has also added to their stress level and in some cases has increased levels of depression.
A good mentor will sense your hesitancy to begin the dialogue and he/she can revert to sharing some of their lived experience that is relevant to what you had planned on talking about. As a mentor it is important to use this time wisely to share lived experiences as that helps with the mentee's growth.
