How a mentorship runs

From request to report.

Every mentorship follows the same short path. You both confirm each session happened.

Then plan another cycle, or finish. One cycle at a time.

Seniority alone isn’t enough. You need to offer the area someone is working on.

  • Your current role is at level 2 to 5Saved in your Growth Notes profile.
  • Approved by your organisation or by usOne approval is enough.
  • You offer specific abilitiesSame discipline not required.

Mentor questions

More? team@growthnotes.app

How much time does it take?

As much as you choose. Set weekly hours and limits in your Planner, and pause requests when you’re busy.

Am I paid during the pilot?

Not yet. Nothing is charged in the pilot. Paid mentoring comes later.

Who sees my conversations?

You, the person you help, and Growth Notes staff, read-only. Admins only see who asked whom.

What is a growth cycle?

One ability, 2–5 sessions, weekly or every two weeks. Each session has a topic, a skill in focus and, if you like, a practice task.

What happens before the first cycle?

Two preparation sessions: meet and review the plan, then plan the engagement. You can draft the cycle meanwhile.

Who decides the cycle?

You plan it. Your mentee accepts it or asks for changes, and it starts once they accept.

How do we agree times?

Either of you proposes a day, time and way to meet. The other accepts or suggests another.

When is a session done?

When you both say it happened. If it didn’t, it goes back to be arranged.

What goes in the report?

What you worked on, what you saw, and whether the target was reached or not yet. Your mentee reads and acknowledges it.

Can either of us stop?

Yes. Either of you can end a cycle early, and finishing frees a place against your limit. Completed work stays.

Does it sync with my calendar?

Not yet. Agreed sessions show on your Mentor page and your mentee’s schedule.
