WHO IS A MENTOR

• A mentor is not a parent, counselor or social worker. A mentor is a friend and guide. Your mentors will support and listen to you, answer your questions or help you to find the answers, and share with you all of those things that they wish somebody had shared with them when they were at the stage you currently are.
• A mentor is someone who models positive examples in particular area(s) of life. These include but not limited to marriage, finance, academics, relationships, career etc. The success of a mentor in a particular area of life must be “visible” enough to attract a prospective mentee.
• A mentor is someone you can submit to for the vital process of learning and pruning. Someone that you believe knows what you are supposed to learn and unlearn; an essential ingredient for growth and transformation.
• An excellent mentor is a person who helps others to navigate the world (schools, careers, marriage, and life in general). At its core, a mentor is a dependable advisor who is available to advise someone, delivering help using an approach that makes sense for them and always trying to keep that person’s best interest in mind.
• A mentor is that person, who is willing to go the extra mile with you to reach success’s gate.

A mentor is a person or friend, who guides a less experienced individual. By being dependable, approachable and authentic.
