Mentoring

MENTORING:
THE GIFT OF INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL

Did you know that Mentor was the name of the teacher of Odyseus in Homer's Oddesy?

Even a mythical Greek hero needs some one to lean on once in a while.

If you've ever been between a rock and a hard place, you know the value of a mentor... someone who has been there before, who can help guide you, and who has an honest interest in helping you succeed.

Mentoring is all about building a relationship of trust and openness -- two important and rare elements in the business world. To be true to the spirit of the original Mentor, mentors should make a concerted effort to be honest, available, and reliable.

Mentoring often comes with no strings attached. But when done right, turns into a win-win relationship that holds important beneifits to both parties.
