Mentorloop note templates
Linking your notes to mentoring meetings can improve the quality of your sessions and ensure they are productive and intentional.
Use Mentorloop templates to streamline your mentoring sessions, including templates for first meetings, goal-setting sessions, and regular check-ins. These templates can help you make the most out of your mentoring sessions and achieve your mentoring goals:

Note privacy and sharing
The notes function allows you to share personal reflections and action items with your mentor, and easily update and highlight them for feedback. By default, your note is set to share with your mentoring match. However, you can create a Private note.
With this feature, you can jot down some quick notes during a meeting, refine them later, and even add your insights. Once you're satisfied with your notes, you can easily share them with your mentor. Additionally, you can link your notes to any past or future meetings for easy reference.
