Mentors can help us to boost our confidence, clarify our goals and reach our highest potential. This article by Paramita Bhattacharya of Forbes invites us to seek out for mentors with different, rich experiences who can help us to grow and develop.
Mentors can unleash our leadership potential. In our “Essentials of Leadership” Paper by Professor Sharon Turnbull, we explore how mentorship can support leaders to foster their learning, build relationships and develop self-awareness. You can read the paper here.
A mentor can help someone remain positive and hopeful, sometimes in the face of great adversity, so that they achieve far more than they thought possible, or that others think they are capable of. Given the challenging situations we can all face, such support can be crucial.
