Why Become a Mentor?
A mentor is a guide and resource who helps pave the way for others to succeed. It’s not about having all the right answers. Your role as a mentor is to inspire, encourage, and support your mentee, contributing to their development through thoughtful conversation and consultation. Teaching others is the best way to learn yourself. In the same way, mentors become more competent as leaders and communicators as they guide and help rising talent.
Why Become a Mentee?
With the help of a mentor, you can gain new knowledge and skillsets that can broaden your career opportunities and personal networks for advancement. As a mentee, you can better develop the confidence necessary to tackle short and long-term goals, navigate challenges, and accelerate your growth. Rather than learning from your own experience alone, a mentor can accelerate your learning as well as better prepare you for growth opportunities in the future.
One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination. - John C. Maxwell
