What is mentoring?
Mentoring is a relationship that provides space for personalised discussion and reflection between two people of different experience levels in business. It is confidential, creating a judgement-free place to share thoughts and ideas. The relationship uplifts and supports with the intention of fostering a sense of direction and affirmation.
Mentoring is not about the mentor doing the work for the mentee or telling the mentee what to do. It is about empowering the mentee to grow, make decisions and take responsibility for their own journey.
The role of a mentor
A mentor supports, guides and inspires a mentee who has less experience, by sharing their own knowledge, skills and experiences. A mentor is not a formal advisor and does not provide technical or specialist advice. They help the mentee think through challenges themselves, set goals, and grow personally and professionally.
A mentor is like a wise companion walking alongside a mentee on their journey, helping them to navigate choices and learn from their experiences.
The role of a mentee
A mentee plays an active role in their mentoring relationship by being open to learning, setting clear goals and taking initiative. The mentee is committed to doing the work they need to progress.
The mentee understands that the mentor is a guide — not a manager, tutor or problem-solver — and respects their mentor’s time, feedback and experience. They come prepared to meetings, ask thoughtful questions, and are receptive to new perspectives, even when it challenges their current thinking.
A successful mentee is engaged, reflective and committed to applying what they learn through mentoring to grow personally and professionally.
