Mentee Profile
We welcome mentees from all industries – we are looking for mentees who are willing to get out of their comfort zones, take reasonable risks and take responsibility for their own learnings and career paths. Effective mentees are open minded, motivated, and committed.
Ideally, you would have worked minimally for 3 years or more and are looking to be mentored in the following topic areas:
- Display new perspectives and motivation to seek out regional/global job exposures to prepare for global leadership roles
- Embrace a complex, ambiguous environment
- Create and leverage networks and communicate with clarity and ‘heart’ for impact
- Embrace and manage diversity by being sensitive to the cultural context and exercising cultural flexibility
Why be a Mentee?
Mentoring is a special partnership between two people based on commitment to the mentoring process, common goals/expectations of the partnership, and mutual trust and respect. It is a “get and give” experience with the goal of providing a rich and rewarding experience for both.
At SGLN, we believe that mentees need to take charge of their own personal/professional development with the benefit of a mentor who will share their personal experiences, insights, and perspectives. Other benefits can include:
- Developing a sharper and more strategic focus on areas of professional development
- Developing yourself as “learner” by adopting a continuous learning mindset with active investments in personal growth
- Developing communication skills through personalised guidance across different interaction contexts
- Cross-learning opportunities through sharing of experiences and insights that can enrich both mentee and mentor
