Do you want to move your career forward?
Would you like to develop your leadership skills as well as help others learn, grow, and improve their skills?
Or maybe you would like to find someone who can help you do these things?
Professional people novadays are actively pursuing mentoring to advance their careers.
Mentoring can be rewarding to both the mentee and the mentor, personally and professionally. It’s an opportunity to develop communication skills, expand your viewpoints, and consider new ways of approaching situations.
Mentee is the a person who is helped by a mentor (= a person who gives a younger or less experienced person help and advice over a period of time.
Mentor is a person who gives a younger or less experienced person help and advice over a period of time.
From Cambridge Dictionary
What is mentoring?
Mentoring supports and encourages people to manage their own learning, maximising their potential, developing their skills and improving their performance.
A mentor helps the mentee believe in themselves and boosts their confidence. For the individual, it is about becoming more self-aware, taking responsibility for their life and actively deciding on the direction rather than leaving it to your boss. In a larger context, mentoring is a powerful personal development and empowerment tool.
What does it involve?
In terms of outcomes, mentoring is about igniting personalities, inspiring possibilities and investing in potential. It’s about idealizing what is yet to come — the prize.
Each one of us needs someone to help us see beyond what we can see today. That is the valuable role that an experienced mentor can play in our lives.
