WHAT IS MENTORING?

Mentoring is a developmental partnership through which one person shares knowledge, skills, information and perspective to foster the personal and professional growth of someone else.

      “Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.”  - John C. Crosby
