Summary

Story is a very powerful way to exemplify concepts and show the  dynamics and issues involved in relationships. In this mentoring  fable, Zachary and Fischler tell the story of Cynthia, a seasoned  marketing executive, and her new mentee Rafa, a young and ambitious  financial analyst. Through these characters, Zachary and  Fischler explore the nuances of an incipient mentoring relationship  and its possibilities, problems, and pitfalls to bring their  suggestions for best practices to life. The first 90 days of a  mentoring relationship are relatively fragile; as both mentor and  mentee proceed uncertainly, they may not know how to create the  ingredients that are crucial to its success: building trust,  finding their comfort zones (and having the courage to leave them),  setting up productive regular meetings and conversations, dealing  with power dynamics, setting goals, and keeping momentum going.  While the fable offers tools and skills that can be applied to any  mentoring relationship, Zachary and Fischler also provide a  conversation playbook for new mentoring relationships, with  guidance for establishing a mentoring relationship and keeping it  strong.
