MENTORING

Mentoring is the process of forming, cultivating and maintaining mutually beneficial developmental relationships between a mentor and a mentee.

There are a number of career and psychosocial aspects to mentoring relationships. Most people are familiar with and expect the relationship to enhance their ability to learn the ropes and prepare them for advancement within their organization. These career functions include sponsoring, exposure, visibility, protection, coaching, and challenging assignments.

The psychosocial functions are the soft-side of mentoring; those aspects of the relationship that enhance your sense of competence, clarity of identity and effectiveness in your professional role.

NETWORKING

Your network is the set of relationships critical to your ability to …

  • Get things done …
