Structuring Meeting Time
Determine how to use your time together. One suggestion is the “10/20/60 Rule” that will help you to establish a solid partnership and address mentoring goals and everyday issues. For a meeting of about 1½ hours split the time roughly as follows:.
First 10 Minutes
Engage in personal/professional—“check-in”
Next 20 Minutes
Focus on ‘front burner’ issues (upcoming presentation, manuscript revision, etc.)
Last 60 Minutes
Discuss current and long-term goals and priorities
