2. Trainer turns the question “upside down”: "What should be done
to make the mentoring relationship fail?"and then writes down the
answers from participants.
3. Next, the participants analyze the answers they gave and try to
“reverse them” and change a bad advice into something good..
For example a sentence: “For a mentoring relationship to fail, the mentor
should be consistently late to the meetings.”can be changed to: “For the
mentoring relationship to be successful, the mentor should be punctual.”
4. Read checklist 2 and make sure you have written down the
essentials of a successful mentoring relationship.
5. On the basis of the obtained data, develop 10 principles that you

would like to apply to your mentor-mentee relationship. The trainer
should write them down in a visible place.
