Take a moment to think about the best mentor you've ever had. Coaches, teachers, coworkers, parents and peers; mentors are everywhere. In your life, chances are someone took time to help, offer guidance and make a difference.
Mentoring provides participants with the opportunity to grow, learn and accomplish goals together.
All great leaders have mentors
Mentoring enhances professional portfolios, changes lives and advances careers. Whether you're a seasoned professional or in the early stages of your career, mentorship exposes both parties to new perspectives, ideas and reciprocal learning relationships.
Time commitment
Mentors should expect an average commitment of one hour/month for up to three months.
