What to mentor on
You can mentor on anything that can be shared. Share knowledge, experiences, general advice, specific domain advice, encouragement, questions, connections, and more.
- share what you know
- what you think others should know
- information
- things that most do not know
- skills
- the crucial things that cannot be found in books/online
- stories
- anecdotes
One of my favorite things I’ve done is speak at organizations like Girls Who Code. I shared how in my journey to tech, there were times when I asked myself: do I belong, am I good enough, am I passionate enough. Hearing how some felt the same way too and feeling encouraged from my stories was motivating.
