Thanks for sharing this, Jordan! I’ve been struggling to figure out how to make my 1:1s with my mentor more impactful, and this post is incredibly insightful.

What a great post! I have experienced this exact same thing some time back and having a template like this to follow on what to discuss in your 1:1' s is such a great hack. I will definitely follow this approach.

A small question though, do you think it is a good idea to have manager himself as a mentor? Do you have mentors outside your company or working in the same company?

So glad you liked the post, Sreedhar.

Yeah, definitely think that's a great idea! You should constantly be asking your manager mentor-like questions.

And yep, I've had a mix of both, mentors outside and inside the company
