The Mentoring Toolkit for Data Science Leads
A battle-tested Notion bundle of 6 templates for tech leads who want to mentor with clarity, coach with confidence, and never start from scratch again.
👋 What is this?
This toolkit is a curated set of Notion templates designed to help you run impactful mentoring and coaching relationships—whether you’re guiding a junior hire, preparing a peer for promotion, or running reverse mentoring with senior leaders.
These are the exact templates I’ve used as a Senior Data Science Lead to mentor ICs, onboard internal hires, and coach future managers across squads.
These are not theoretical frameworks.
They are the same tools I have used in real life to:
✅ Run structured, high-impact mentoring sessions across multiple roles
✅ Support mentees in taking ownership of their growth
✅ Help mentors set direction and give meaningful feedback
✅ Launch reverse mentoring without awkwardness or ambiguity
👤 Who is this for?
This bundle is built for technical leaders — data scientists, engineers, analytics leads, product-minded tech leads — who want to grow their teams through mentorship while staying focused on delivery.
This bundle is for you if you are:
- A new mentor unsure how to guide someone without micromanaging
- A team lead setting up a mentorship program across your org
- A mentee looking to make the most of your sessions
- A leader exploring reverse mentoring to learn from junior talent
