A mentor is someone who guides a less skilled person ( a mentee ) by building trust and modeling positive behaviors. An effective mentor understands that his or her role must align with the needs of the mentee.
Mentoring is often defined as a professional relationship in which an experienced person (the mentor) supports another (the mentee) in developing specific skills and knowledge that will enhance the mentee’s professional and personal growth. Presently, most organizations recognize how effective it is in one’s professional & personal development to have a mentor in their lives especially for young people.
