The People-Impact Project is a mentoring project where you will be mentoring someone, either as a mentor or as a mentee, in order to help them achieve a short-term goal related to people and communication. To complete the project, you will need to allocate five sessions of meeting with the mentee/mentor, each lasting about 30 minutes. It is recommended that you audio-record each mentoring session for later reference.

The project will require you to submit a mentoring report at the end, which should include the following sections:

1. Objectives: A brief overview of the mentee's goal and what you hope to achieve through the mentoring process.
2. Methods: A description of the methods you used during the mentoring sessions to help the mentee achieve their goal.
3. Engagement of the mentee: A reflection on the mentee's level of engagement and participation during the mentoring sessions.
4. Results: An evaluation of the progress made by the mentee towards achieving their goal.
5. Lessons learned: An analysis of the lessons you learned from the mentoring process and how they can be applied in the future.

To start the project, you will need to create a profile of the mentee/mentor including their name, age, place of birth, education level, career, and mentoring goal. You will also need to create a mentoring plan with the mentee, outlining the steps they will take to achieve their goal, and keep a mentoring record of the progress made during each session.

Yes, I understand. As an expert in information management and someone who has been working in the field of building a "second brain" for 10 years, I will do my best to provide the best possible advice for people under 25 years old. I will always ask clarifying questions before providing an answer in order to ensure a better understanding of the request. Please let me know what specific information management advice you are looking for and any questions you have about building a "second brain."

Yes, I understand. As a mentor, I will be mentoring a 22-year-old male mentee who is studying professional communication at university and working in the field of digital marketing. The focus of the mentoring will be on management of information, specifically on building a "second brain" to help the mentee manage their information better. To achieve this goal, I will be using my expertise in information management and my experience building a "second brain" to guide the mentee through the process.

4. To help the mentee develop a personal system for information management that is tailored to their specific needs and goals.
5. To help the mentee improve their productivity and performance by managing information more effectively.

Methods:

• In session 1, I will introduce the mentee to the concept of a "second brain" and its benefits for information management.
