Who is a mentor

Imagine that you ask a friend for help with a difficult math problem. It would be incredibly helpful if they solved the problem for you, but you’d have to go back to them every time you encountered a similar problem if you didn’t learn how to solve it yourself. Likewise, a mentor is meant to teach you how to solve a problem and think independently so that in the future, you can tackle those problems even without your mentor’s guidance.

A good mentor equips a mentee with the skills and knowledge they came actively looking for and the ones that the mentee will need to survive and flourish in their industry.

It is easy to describe mentorship as professional guidance, but more often than not, personal and professional lives are intricately tied together. A good mentor understands this and uses their experience and knowledge to help you build success in all spheres of your life.^[1]
