Mentoring is a positive, supportive relationship, encouraging people to develop to their fullest potential.
Mentoring is multi-faceted; it can be formal or informal and may change and evolve as the needs of the mentee change. A mentor is a role model, coach, sounding board, voice of reason, counsellor and a trusted resource.
A Mentor assures their mentee that they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges. They help them believe that they matter. Quality mentoring relationships have powerful positive effects on people in a variety of personal, academic and professional situations.
