Mentor Club: Mentors are critical for our lives

Mentors are critical for our lives, professionally and personally.

Choosing the right mentors matter and we need to choose wisely because the wrong mentors can be neutral at best and harmful at worst.


A mentor shouldn’t ever tell you what to do

A mentor shouldn’t try to “mold” you to be like them

A mentor shouldn’t talk more than listen

A mentor shouldn’t make you reliant on them

A good mentor understands that you are unique, with your own strengths and talents and your own path to forge

A good mentor understands that their role is to support you and to build your capacity

A good mentor empowers you

A good mentor helps you believe in yourself and not in them

A good mentor refers you to others when they can’t provide the help you need

A good mentor is worth seeking out and priceless once found
