From Mother to Teacher to Mentor…

As life progresses, we journey through the stages of being reliant on a mother, teachers and then finally mentors.

The mother and teachers are assigned to us but we can choose our mentors in the later stages of life.

How do we pick a suitable role model for a mentor?

Certainly,it needs to be someone positive with all the right attributes like a good communicator, successful career or vocation practitioner.

In return, a good mentor should be a responsible and committed person. He should advise in the best interests of his / her charge.

Where do you look for mentors? Some companies provide employee support and appoint buddies / mentors to advice and nurture new talents, It is within the best interests of the company to polish their light bulbs to give the brightest glow.

If you’re very lucky, a mentor happens along your way without you actively seeking them out. The mentor can be a boss, colleague, good friend, relative or a professional from an external mentoring company.

A mentor is supposed to help you soar. Have you got one?
