Free Mentee Training w/ Brice Scheschuk
Led by Brice Scheschuk, the co-founder of MindFrame Connect and Wind Mobile, this session shares multiple ways mentees can get the most from the time they spend with mentors and will cover topics like:
- How to be mentorable
- What to expect from a mentor
- What mentors wish mentees knew
- How to find the right mentor for you
- What a good mentor expects in return
The content being shared was created by extensive research and the discovery of founders and entrepreneurs across Canada.
Registrants will receive a recording from the session as well as a participant package that includes "The 25 Principles of Menteeship."
All we ask in return is that you sign or have signed Rainforest Alberta's Social Contract, which has 10 values and principles (listed below the QR code that takes you to the page where you can agree to the social contract), and help build an equitable startup community and tech ecosystem.
The 10 values and principles of Rainforest Alberta's Social Contract are:
1) DIVERSITY - I embrace diversity, strive to create equal opportunity for every person, and am open to meeting anyone in this community.
2) FREE HELP - I understand that I will receive valuable help from others for free.
3) TRUST - I will give trust to others before expecting to receive trust in return.
4) PAY IT FORWARD - I agree to "pay forward" whatever positive benefits I receive.
For every introduction I get, I will provide an introduction to another person.
For every hour of advice I receive, I will give an hour of advice to someone else.
For every risk someone takes with me, I will take risks with a different person.
5) FAIRNESS - I will be nice and treat everyone fairly. I will take advantage of no one.
6) LISTENING - I will bring people together and listen, as none of us is as smart as all of us. I believe in the big tent. I believe we gain strength through diversity.
7) HONESTY - I will be truthful and frank. I will break rules and call out elephants in the room.
8) TEAM SPORT - I will create teams to play, dream, experiment, iterate, and persist. I understand mistakes happen. Failing quickly and cheaply are acceptable ways of testing new ideas.
9) SHARING - I will open myself to learning from others. I am eager to act to learn. I will share my knowledge in the spirit of the Creative Commons to help nurture learning in others.
10) ROLE MODEL - I will lead at times and follow at other times. Each person acts as a role model for everyone else. I will live by these ideals and enforce them as a member of the Rainforest community.
