The rules of the game define what is and what is not allowed during the mentoring process,  between a mentor and a mentee. This Tool offers several examples of well-defined mentoring relationship rules:

• Show respect by regularly attending meetings without being late, turn off your mobile phone and respect your mentor/mentee during the conversation.
• Discretion: everything said and shared during the mentoring process is strictly confidential. Both parties should agree if something from the sessions needs to be communicated externally.
• Define unwanted topics: both, the mentor and the mentee are required to indicate which topics are undesirable for discussion due to possible conflict of interests or any other reason.
• Define your communication between regular sessions: is it possible and desirable to send emails or make occasional telephone calls between sessions for important consultation.
