Mentor: A Wise and Faithful Advisor
Can everyone benefit from having a mentor? Yes! It’s not just for young or inexperienced, nor do you have to have only one mentor. The truth is that it’s important to have someone ready for your call – your mentor(s). The opportunity to call on different people depending on what the need - because mentors can guide, challenge, give advice, make referrals, open doors, answer questions, share experiences, be a brainstorming partner, provide a sounding board and be a critical friend. The mentoring role is very broad, and it’s hard to find just one mentor that can meet every need. We will discuss how to determine your needs, professionally and personally to set you up for continued success – as a mentor or a mentee, you may be both!
