Mentors guide, motivate, inspire and support \u2013 enabling the mentee to achieve their life’s goals and aspirations.\u2014Mentor City<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How do you define the role of mentor?<\/strong> We define it as “someone who imparts wisdom and shares knowledge with a less experienced person”<\/em> and perhaps someone with “less exposure” than that of the mentor.<\/p>\n

Part of the mentor\u2019s role is to provide:
\n-Meaningful and frequent feedback
\n-Explore strengths and needs and create and update a development plan
\n-Networking opportunities are identified and leveraged
\n-Trusting relationships are built and nurtured
\n-Ongoing open lines of communication
\n-Realistic expectations for attaining goals and results<\/p>\n

Mentoring may be formal or informal, but the expectations and roles should be defined and agreed to at the inception of the relationship.<\/p>\n

1. What\u2019s the purpose of the mentorship?<\/strong>
\n2. What type of expertise\/guidance is the mentee seeking?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note: In general, mentors\/mentees do not have a reporting relationship allowing for candid discussions.<\/p>\n

Here are some tips for the mentee:<\/p>\n

Be receptive to coaching and suggestions made by your mentor<\/em><\/p>\n

Focus on expectations; it\u2019s up to you to share your desired goals (short and long term), what you view as your “dream job”, and your vision for your career path.<\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Stay current on required work skills. What talent would look<\/em> good on your resume? Would any certifications or other <\/em>position you to stand out from the competition?<\/em><\/p>\n

Discuss your successes and accomplishments as well as your <\/em>barriers and problem areas<\/em><\/p>\n

Solicit feedback; what could you do better?\u00a0 What\u2019s working<\/em>\u00a0well and what is not?<\/em><\/p>\n

Are you willing to share your wisdom and experiences with others to help them grow? \u00a0If yes, become a mentor!<\/p>\n

A mentor can be a role model, coach, sounding board, voice of reason, emotional support, counselor, and a trusted resource.\u2014Mentor City<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
