What Does a Mentor Do?

Hopefully I am beginning to convince of the need for the intentional investment of a mentor in your life. But perhaps you’re still skeptical about this and you’re wondering what exactly a mentor does.

Here’s a partial list of the contribution mentors have made in my life and the role I have played as a mentor for others:

A mentor:

• Is a source of information
• Provides wisdom
• A Promotes specific skills and effective behaviors
• Provides feedback
• Coaches
• Is a sounding board
• Someone to turn to in times of crisis
• Helps devise plans
• Nurtures curiosity
