Mentoring Tips
Mentoring is a process whereby several individuals come together to develop the career and abilities of a single individual. Mentoring can focus on a career or personal context. This article is focused on those aspects that effect career development and success.
As mentioned, mentoring involves a seasoned individual who teaches and guides someone with less knowledge in given areas. A mentor may wear several hats however the one thing that all mentors share is the ability to listen and encourage. A mentor is “a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction,” according to the Uncommon Individual Foundation, an organization focused on mentoring research and training. It reports that mentoring is amongst the most robust tools we have for influencing human behavior.
History
In Greek mythology, Mentor was the son of Alcumus. In his old age Mentor was a friend of Odysseus who placed Mentor and Odysseus’ foster-brother Eumaeus accountable for his son Telemachus, and of Odysseus’ palace, when Odysseus left for the Trojan War.
When Athena visited Telemachus she took the disguise of Mentor to disguise herself from the suitors of Telemachus’ mother Penelope. As Mentor, the goddess encourages Telemachus to stand up against the suitors and go abroad to find out what actually transpired to his father. When Odysseus returns to Ithaca, Athena appears briefly in the form of Mentor again at Odysseus’ palace.
On account of Mentor’s and Eumaeus’ near-paternal relationship with Telemachus, the personal name Mentor continues to be adopted in English as a term meaning a father-like teacher.
Definition
1. A wise and trusted counselor or teacher.
2. Mentor Greek Mythology. Odysseus’s trusted counselor, in whose guise Athena became the guardian and teacher of Telemachus.
Varieties of Mentoring
There are basically two kinds of mentoring; the first is natural mentoring and the second is arranged mentoring. Natural mentoring may be found from everyday situations wherein anyone can wind up being your mentor. One can learn through collegiality, through friendship, through teaching, or through counseling. On the flip side, planned mentoring comes from a structured program wherein the mentor and the mentee are chosen from a list and matched by way of a formal procedure. Mentoring programs are common both in the private and public sectors. Most of these programs possess the goal of employee development and assisting new employees with learning the particular organizational culture. Three approaches are typical: (1) one-to-one matching programs, (2) group mentoring, and (3) training and encouragement toward mentoring. Mentoring is a method of teaching and fostering growth.
Benefits & Observations
Mentoring is usually a dynamic process, during which the roles of the mentor change with the growth and experience of the protege.
Whether natural or deliberate there is a dynamic process which occurs between mentors and mentees.
Mentoring is amongst the most effective tools we’ve got for influencing human behavior.

Great Mentoring Quotes
“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” Oprah Winfrey
“A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could.” Anonymous
“Mentoring brings us together – across generation, class, and often race – in a manner that forces us to acknowledge our interdependence, to appreciate, in Martin Luther King, Jr.’s words, that ‘we are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied to a single garment of destiny.’ In this way, mentoring enables us to participate in the essential but unfinished drama of reinventing community, while reaffirming that there is an important role for each of us in it.” Marc Freedman
“Self-esteem is a huge piece of my work. You have to believe it’s possible and believe in yourself. Because after you’ve decided what you want, you have to believe it’s possible, and possible for you, not just for other people. Then you need to seek out models, mentors, and coaches.” Jack Canfield
“I have had a few great mentors in my professional life. They have helped me to open my thoughts to new directions, develop the skills for getting me there, and adopt the attitude that sustains me for the journey. I encourage you to definitely think about this tool.” Anonymous
