What is mentoring about, you ask? Let's break it down. 🤔💡

First, you need to understand that there are different types of mentors: mentors, coaches, and trainers. Each plays a unique role in your growth process. 🙌📚

Mentors are the pioneers who have walked your path. They offer wisdom based on their own experiences and guide you on how to approach your situation. 🗺️🎓

Coaches are your dedicated guides. They provide frameworks of thought 💭 instead of giving you direct answers. They help build YOUR confidence and self-efficacy. 💪🎯

Trainers help you prepare for a specific activity. They give you tasks and exercises designed to foster growth in a particular area. Think of them as your personal gym trainers for your professional skills. 🏋️‍♂️📈

If mentoring is so great, why isn’t everyone doing it?

I believe it’s because we’re told we need one, but no one taught us how to find a mentor and navigate the relationship.
