ARED 1711 | Establishing Expectations and Maintaining Effective Communication

Establishing expectations and maintaining effective communication are the cornerstones of the mentoring relationship. In this class we will cover strategies for successful communication between mentors and mentees, with a focus on the necessity for a mutual understanding of expectations, the use of various modes of communication, the ways in which power differentials affect communication, and the importance of mutual feedback between mentors and mentees. During the live class meeting, we will use case studies to explore potential communication issues and ways of addressing them.

At the conclusion of this class, you should be able to:

• Articulate the importance of explicit expectations and formulate plans for expectations within the mentoring relationship
• Evaluate various practices for effective communication
• Identify considerations/implications of setting expectations and communicating with diverse mentees.

A digital certificate will be emailed upon completetion of the program.
