Once your mentoring relationship is off to a good start, you and your Mentee enter the second phase: Engage.

You have worked on getting to know one another while at the same time planning specific activities and goals for the relationship. This is sometimes called paying attention to "task" - the things you and your mentee want to do and accomplish - and to "relationship" - building a solid connection between you.

In the Engage phase, you will deepen and strengthen your relationship, developing greater mutual trust and respect. At the same time, you will further define tasks, which includes identifying goals and making plans for activities that will help your Mentee achieve these goals.
