Mentoring is a fundamental human relationship in which one person invests time, energy and expertise to nurture the growth of another person. Mentors are the special people in our lives who help us reach our potential. Mentors may range widely in style — from that of a persistent encourager who boosts our self-confidence to that of a stern taskmaster who teaches us to appreciate excellence in performance but mentors all share the same sincere care for their mentees.
