Once you have created your contract with your Peer Mentor, and have
begun meeting (either in person, via Skype, email or telephone) there are
certain guidelines for the process of communication.
The “how” of your interactions, is the process, the manner in which you
communication various aspects of your ongoing relationship.
For example, you may be frustrated with the number of times your partner
has cancelled or shown up late for your appointment. Or feel that the amount
of time you have devoted to his/her goal achievement far exceeds the amount
of help you have gotten.
He or she may feel the same way, in these or other aspects of your relationship.
Like any good partnership, relationship, friendship or business alliance, all
will not go smoothly, all the time.
So it’s important to have a skillful way to express your feelings, describe what
your expectations are and feel free to tell your Peer/Mentor what you’re pleased
about and where you feel things are falling short.
