1:1

Pronounced as one on one

During Freshers' Induction, every Core Team Member is assigned one (or more) Executive(s) as 1:1 mentor(s). The mentee and mentor(s) decide the frequency, length, time, venue and nature of their 1:1 meetups.

A 1:1 can be about

  • Career goals of Mentor/Mentee
  • Feedback/Discussion about involvement in KOSS
  • Brainstorming on new ideas/articles and implementations
  • Creating a comfort zone for new members to open up with the team

Notes

  • Use Calendar to schedule your 1:1. Use the weekly/bi-weekly/monthly schedule feature.
  • Come prepared with questions to ask or points to discuss. You can create an email thread between you and your mentor and log notes after the meetups.
  • 1:1 mentorship is voluntary. Every Executive does not need to be a mentor if they are unable to commit their time.
  • Mentors can invite any Advisor in any meeting. 1:1s are informal and inclusive.
  • Mentors can be changed upon request by either the mentor or the mentee.
  • Create a google doc/notion page for listing out resources discussed in the meet.
  • If a particular task needs to be accomplished then the mentor can take regular follow ups regarding the task. (Here task refers to any self help goal.)

Guidelines for the mentors

  • Make sure your mentee feels comfortable.
  • Let the mentee know that 1:1s are about them.
  • Do not repeatedly cancel scheduled 1:1s. You may be creating a lot of impact on someone's KGP journey by taking 30 minutes out of your week.
  • Some questions to ask your mentee are
    • How are you feeling?
    • What is on your mind?
    • What are you most excited about?
    • What are you most worried about?
    • Is there anything we should start doing as a team?
    • How do you want our 1:1s to go? Do you have any preferences?

Guidelines for the mentees

  • The meetups are about you. Be comfortable and use your mentor(s) as resources to discuss anything you wish.
  • Some questions to ask your mentor(s) are
    • What do you think about my involvement in KOSS? How can I improve upon it?
    • Have you ever been in situation X? How did you solve it?
    • I am working on X these days. Do you have any suggestions or feedback?
    • I am thinking about learning X. Can you tell me the pros/cons of doing so?
    • Tell me something about yourself which I might not know.
