“Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should be denied it.” – Alan MooreWhen you decide to mentor someone, you don’t have any clue as to what your mentee will go on to achieve; you might help make an ‘Elon Musk’ of India or even help shape and achieve someone’s dreams. Whatever be it, know that you have the power to make a difference and that is what matters.Decades ago, a school teacher, Mrs. Duncan noticed that one of her students was a little reserved in her demeanour in the class, but she knew that there was something special about that student. Mrs. Duncan went on to support the child to be undaunted to express her views, encouraged her to be not afraid of showing her knowledge, and recommended her books to read. Today, that child has grown up to be one of the most influential women of our lifetimes, Oprah Winfrey.Often in our lives, we all have felt the need for a mentor, a coach and a guide who could help us see clearly when we can’t. If you have found one, you might realise how valuable that is. If you were unfortunate like most around the world, you might even wonder what good it will do you to become a mentor. So here are some additional advantages you can have by becoming a mentor,
Professional Growth - Sun Microsystems did a study on the career progress of more than 1,000 employees over a five-year period & found that mentors were also 6 times more likely to be promoted than employees who didn't mentor
Build Your Leadership Skills - Becoming a mentor is building a very close relationship with the mentee & requires interpersonal skills. As one progresses through their careers, one often finds that their career growth becomes exactly proportionate to the interpersonal & leadership skills
Personal Branding - When you teach something, you truly will & need to master it. Mentoring will help establish you as a Subject Matter Expert in that domain
Social Gratification - Effective mentoring not only provides mental support to the mentee but also lends emotional and social gratification to the mentor of giving back to the society.
