People love to complain about Jira but the fact is, if you don't know how you need to work, Jira can't help you. But, if you do, It's a killer tool to push your delivery capabilities through the roof.

Mentors and mentees are able to set their communication tools in their profile settings.

It is a good idea to connect with the other person once the session is accepted and the details are given. This ensures that the correct details were given and when it is time to start, you can start on time.

Here are some tips on how to get the maximum bang for your time on growth mentor calls.

Come into this with realistic expectations. They’re mentors, not magicians.
Ask your mentor if they’d be cool with you recording your screen with Loom
Give contextual information to help paint the picture of your current situation.
Growth mentors will be asking you lots of questions, answer them as honest as possible.
Don’t be afraid to push the boundaries of question asking. Be inquisitive. Stories are gold.
Don’t feel pressure, just relax. There’s no right/wrong way to do this. Avoid binary thinking.
Try to form mental patterns, especially if you speak with multiple mentors. Pay attention to metadata.
Embrace alternative views. Ask the mentors to play devil’s advocate and challenge your assumptions.
Be friendly and authentic. If you’re likable, the mentors will be your biggest supporters (even after the call is over).

Yup! Many of the mentors offer monthly coaching packages for members who want to really dive deep into a specific area.

Each mentor creates their own package so what they offer and the price vary from mentor to mentor. You can find their coaching info at the top of their profile.
