Approach the mentoring relationship with an open mind, professionalism, and respect.

• We’ll begin matching ExpoBuddies on December 7th.
• We will try to match based on relatively similar time zones and/or by the interest areas in your registration to the extent possible.
• Our ability to pair ExpoBuddies may be limited; some ExpoBuddies may be on a waitlist. We will let you know if you are on the waitlist by December 21st.

ExpoBuddies should contact each other by email prior to the conference and tell the other a little about themselves; either can initiate the email exchange. Make sure to respond to communications in a timely manner.

• Agree on a time to “meet” early in the conference or even before the conference (during the week or two leading up to the conference).
• Arrange a second time during ClickerExpo to meet virtually, such as during a break. Sometimes it is difficult to find time during the hustle and bustle of ClickerExpo, but it is important to have at least one additional meeting during the event. This could be a simple check-in to see how the mentee is doing and if any questions have come up. Or, it could be an opportunity to zoom-in on a particular topic or session, processing the information together as well as discussing how to implement the information in their particular environments after ClickerExpo.
• Options for meetings may include Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, What’sApp, or other platforms that allow you to talk to and/or see each other. However, meeting live on camera is not a requirement.

It’s your choice entirely if you’d like to stay in contact after the event. ExpoBuddies is focused on the one ClickerExpo that both the Mentor and Mentee are registered for.

• A mentor orientation presentation will be provided for all Mentors to review before November 12th.
• We’ll host a kick-off call, on Thursday, November 19th at 11:00AM PT to answer any questions you may have about the program. If you cannot attend the call, please email erinr@clickertraining.com with any questions after viewing the mentor orientation presentation.
• Mentors will:
  • Share reflections based on their career trajectories and/or their positive reinforcement learning paths. One example might be how they used their learnings from past ClickerExpos in their careers;
  • Offer advice on courses to attend and speakers to see based on their past ClickerExpo experiences;
  • If possible, offer to make connections and/or help Mentees network with other attendees based on interest areas.

• Learn more about the ClickerExpo experience by checking out: 
  • The FAQs;
  • The Attendee Resource Center;
  • The ClickerExpo LIVE event on Facebook

It is NOT expected that the mentor will have all the answers for the mentee.  If you have questions, we're here to help.  Just email erinr@clickertraining.com

We ask that all ExpoBuddies participate in post-ClickerExpo evaluation to provide feedback on the program so that we can make improvements in future years.
