Mentors

What is mentorship?

• Mentorship is a structured and protected relationship in which a more knowledgeable or experienced person guides and nurtures the professional development or growth of another person.

How do I know if I'd be a good mentor?

• You enjoy building caring and supportive relationships

• You encourage and have a passion for developing yourself and others

• You enjoy listening, questioning, and guiding/coaching others

• You feel you have information, knowledge, and experience that is helpful for others

 Reflect on these questions before signing up to be a mentor

• What experience and learnings can I bring to the mentoring relationship?

• What are my own expectations for the relationship?

• Are there any obstacles that could impede the relationship's development?
