Conversation Starter: What qualities do you value?




Ask your mentee "Which teacher, coach, or other school worker is a positive role model for you? What qualities do you value in her or him?"

Keep the ball rolling and talk about what qualities you value and who demonstrates them. Whats next? Set a goal - pick one quality and try to demonstrate it as much as possible before your next mentoring session.

For example "I admire my boss because she smiles at everyone and is really positive." Ask your mentee to try it out for a week! Dont forget to follow up and see what happened.
