Mentoring
The role of mentors
The knowledge, advice and resources a mentor shares depend on the specific mentoring relationship and goals of the mentee. A mentor may share with a mentee information about their own career path, or other life goals, as well as provide guidance, motivation, emotional support and role modelling.
Mentors support their mentees to identify and explore a range of potential solutions, rather than focusing on one right way.
The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.
