Navigating your way around MentorKey (home page)
The home page serves as your hub for accessing MentorKey's comprehensive features and offers a quick overview of your progress and activities on the platform.
My goal records what you want to focus on for your time with your mentor. Revisit these goals regularly to ensure each conversation stays aligned and relevant. These can also help you to break down your goals into actionable steps.
My next session shows your upcoming session and helps you to prepare effectively.
Sessions help you structure and reflect on your mentoring meetings. Before each session, review your goals, notes, and any completed Keys to guide the conversation. After each session, return to capture insights, document follow-up steps, and track your progress.
Suggested Keys show the Keys that are most suitable for you and your goals.
Keys are guided self-reflections designed to help you go deeper. Each Key focuses on a specific topic, such as confidence, leadership impact, or decision-making. Completing a Key helps you clarify your thinking and prepare for a focused conversation with your mentor. You can choose to share your completed Key, or keep it for your own preparation.
My actions is where you can view your assigned Actions. After each session, use the Actions feature to record next steps and follow through on your commitments. Keeping your actions visible helps you stay on track and make consistent progress toward your goals.
