10 Things to Look for in a Mentor

1. Experienced - Mentors are typically older, but that is not a rule. As Bud Bilinch from Fast Company states, one of his mentors is 20 years younger than him and is teaching him the ways of the Web 2.0 world.

2. Character – Your mentor should be a person that you respect and admire. Many times a protege (mentee) patterns his or her life after the life of the mentor and thus you want to ensure you are following a person that with good moral standing.

3. Similar Goals - Find a mentor that has goals similar to yours. It can only help your chances of success if your mentor has already gone through a lot of the work you have in front of you.

4. Availability - Your mentor needs to be available for interaction. It can be great to have a really successful person mentoring you, but if they aren’t available to meet, it defeats the purpose of the arrangement.

5. Open-minded – You need a mentor that is open-minded. This will allow you to progress in a way you need to progress, not necessarily in the way the mentor would prefer.

6. Caring – We all want people to think what we’re doing is important especially our mentor. A mentor needs to care about your success just as much as you do. This is a person that should help you up when you fall and all of this starts with the mentor caring about you and your success.

7. Positive – Your mentor needs to be positive and help keep you positive. If you spend a meaningful amount of time with your mentor, and they are positive, this is bound to rub off on you. Remember, good thoughts in, good thoughts out. People want to work with other positive people. The future is bright and as Henry Ford says “Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.”

8. Focus – You want a mentor who is able to not only focus on you and what you would like to achieve, but also help you focus. For instance, let’s say you are new to starting a business and have a mentor who has been successful in starting many businesses over the past 30 years. Starting a business can be a daunting task. There’s a lot of things to think about and especially in the beginning, you have to wear many hats. A mentor can help direct you to what might be the most important point in terms of starting a business.

9. Believes in You – A mentor needs to believe in your potential. If they aren’t sold on you, they aren’t going to put all of their effort into the mentor-protege relationship. No one wins in this relationship and both parties are wasting their time.

10. Open and Honest – A mentor-protege relationship is most beneficial when you can both share experiences and bits of information that a normal acquaintance wouldn’t know about you. Openness and honesty also help build credibility and trust among the mentor and protege.

Remember, a mentoring relationship is only as good as the sum of it’s parts. This is only a guide line for what to look for in a mentor. You may add or subtract from this list as pertains to your situation.

Are there other qualities you look for in a mentor? How did you decide who your mentor was going to be?

The Light

Mentor & Mentee is like this.

Why Become a Mentee?

Are you in control of your life? Is your career progressing according to a plan? Do you know where you are heading and the steps needed to achieve your goals?

Mentoring allows you to focus on how you can forward your career and overcome work related issues. A mentor can provide guidance, support and space for you to think.

These are some reasons for needing a mentor:

• career planning and progression
• links to reduce isolation in a male-dominated professional environment
• information about returning after a career break and advice about obtaining a work/life balance
• networking
• support if you are coping with health problems or disabilities alongside a professional career
• development of new skills such as leadership or public speaking

Mentoring partnerships usually last two to three years, but you may be looking for a quick boost, help with learning a specific skill.

How to be an Effective Mentee

Here are some things the mentee can do to make the mentoring connection successful.

*The mentee has to want to be a partner in the mentoring connection. To that end, they prepare and do the appropriate "homework" for meetings with their mentor. They work to gain the skills, knowledge, and abilities to grow. They’re flexible, listen to their mentor, and consider new options. They take initiative, seeking the mentors advice when needed. And they focus on the goal, not getting lost in the process (if it isn’t clear, they ask the mentor how the process leads to the goal).
*The mentee has to know and be able to discuss their needs and objectives with their mentor. This means that he or she has to look inside themselves to identify areas that may need work and share them with the mentor.
*The mentee must take responsibility for his or her career and goals. Although they have the benefit of the mentor’s guidance, they are responsible for their own path. The mentor may guide the mentee on the path to earn a promotion, for instance, but it is the mentee who must earn it.
*The mentee needs to be able to receive feedback and look at the situation from the mentor’s perspective to gain a more objective viewpoint. One of the biggest values of the connection is the ability to have a more experienced person’s viewpoint; sometimes when it is our own situation we are looking at, we cannot see the forest for the trees.
*The mentee has to be willing to try new things, to consider different ways of "getting there from here."
*The mentee has to periodically assess the progress of the relationship, letting the mentor know when priorities must be reset.

Career Mentoring Teens

What It Takes
A good career mentor is someone with career experience, preferably in more than one job. You need to use what you have learned over the years to help teens figure out who they are and want to become.
You need time—a few hours a week for 6 to 10 weeks, for the training and the actual interaction with your teen(s). That is why so many of our career mentors have been retirees.
You need an open mind about your mentee's capabilities and potential, which is why a stranger can do this more easily than a parent—they are not subconsciously trying to please us, and we do not have such deep-seated hopes, dreams, and expectations for someone else's child.
You need a network of friends or the nerve to approach strangers, in order to arrange an interview or shadowing experience in one or more fields that your teen fixes on as personally promising.
