To teach, you must be willing to learn. I have learnt more as a mentee than as a mentor. Mentoring is not about ‘I give, you take’. Mentoring is about effective communication. Mentoring is about speaking your heart out and it is a skill to develop. A mentor may not even know that he is being considered as a mentor. A mentoring relationship can last forever. If people take your experience as a learning opportunity for them, you’ve already mentored without a formal process. All of us are mentors and all of us are mentees.
