So, what is mentoring? Let’s put it in a nutshell. A mentor is essentially a hands-on, interactive, career role model, with whom a protégé (or a group of protégés) share an on-going relationship. This relationship has an evolving agenda, dealing with issues as they arise through the acquisition of knowledge and development of the individual, business owner and/or employee(s). The role of a mentor is to support, stimulate, challenge and develop personal and professional acumen and to be devotee of the notion of continuous improvement. Mentors add value to individuals or companies by sharing their extensive business and life experiences, sharing their knowledge on (for example) how to handle tricky situations and/or avoid specific slip-ups, and much, much more.
