Communication and Goals: Keys to Successful Mentoring

Discussion group on health care to learn about hot topics.
A six-month completion date for covering this topic.

Goals don’t need to be complicated, but keep them clear, measurable, and completed within an established time frame. Even a general question can help get you both started on setting goals. Try something like: “Where do you see yourself in five years?” Then you can work backward to create the action steps needed to get there.
At times, mentees might not have a solid direction for their career, and that’s OK. Just keep up consistency of communication.
ASHA offers many ways for you to mentor. Experienced audiologists and SLPs can offer advice in ASHA Community discussion groups, Special Interest Groups, and formal mentoring programs.
