What are Actions?
Actions represent the specific steps that you and your mentee identify that can be taken to support your mentee in achieving their goals.
Actions may be assigned to a specific Pillar Goal in cases where the action is likely to progress the achievement of the pillar goal.
Logging Actions
Logging Actions in MentorKey helps you and your mentee maintain accountability for completing actions. Although it's highly recommended that you do so, it is entirely optional and you have the flexibility to choose whether or not to log your actions.
Creating and assigning Actions
Heads up: Actions that you create in MentorKey will automatically be shared with your mentee
When you create an Action, you will be required to assign it to either yourself or your mentee, to indicate who is responsible for completing it. Similarly, your mentee can create and assign Actions.
If an Action that you create is related to one of your mentee's pillar goals (i.e. is it an action that will help them to achieve a specific pillar goal), you have the option to assign it to the relevant Pillar Goal.
Heads up: An Action can only be linked to a Pillar Goal if your mentee has created Pillar Goals
Here are two ways that you can create and assign an Action on MentorKey
- Creating an Action from the Goals page
- Creating an Action from the Sessions page
