Ask Your Mentor
To get the most from the mentorship experience, there are some questions 
that you should be asking your mentor.
Mentoring used to be a scarce resource but now there is much more access 
with Fortune 500 companies instituting mentoring programs as a part of 
their corporate structures. 
Companies now recognise that mentoring provides innumerable benefits 
for up-and-coming professionals. 
Why you should ask your business mentor?
However, even with so many successful mentoring programs available, 
there’s still some confusion about how to work with a mentor. 
So, if you’ve been lucky enough to find coaching and mentoring in your 
field, you must help yourself by making the most of it to be a mutually 
beneficial relationship for both mentor and mentee.
We list some questions that you should be asking your mentor so that you 
both get the most from the mentorship experience.
Q1. What’s your Mentors story?
Successful entrepreneurial journeys are like stories!
They come with their protagonists, plot, pitfalls, achievements, and 
lessons. Getting insight into a successful person’s business can help 
mentees find parallels to their own situation. 
Knowing your mentor’s back story also gives you real-life reference points 
to ask specific questions that can help your business practice. 
Q2. What mistakes did you make?
Everyone makes mistakes along the way, and a mentor’s failures can guide 
mentees on what not to do! 
What’s more, a mentor who willingly owns up to these mistakes and helps 
you avoid making the same is a valuable resource and ally.
Q3. What can I do better?
A mutually beneficial mentoring relationship is one that empowers you 
through another’s experience. 
Mentors are there to guide you and help you grow bigger and better by 
tackling any issue – now and in the future. 
Asking the hard questions like, ‘How can I improve?’ or ‘What should I not 
have done?’ and ‘What can I do better?’ can help you both find solutions to 
a broader picture. 
Q4. How would you like me to follow up?
Even if you didn’t take your mentor’s advice, asking how you can follow up 
on a topic can keep them motivated by knowing their time was well-spent, 
and you are processing their guidance. 
They want to know what you did as a result of your conversations because 
they are invested in your development. 
Q5. How do I convey my story?
Ask for help on things you don’t know and question where needed. A 
confident and professional mentor will probably respect you and help 
guide you accordingly.
