Everyone Needs a Mentor

Everyone needs a mentor to enhance their professional or personal success. Whether you are an executive in an organisation or an owner of a professional services company, the support of a qualified mentor can expand your success.

What is one of the most cost efficient and most effective ways to expand your professional and personal success?

Itís a tool that has been around for more than 3500 years and itís called mentoring.

The concept of mentoring has itís origin in Greek mythology - Mentor was the teacher of Telemachus, the son of Odysseus. Today, some 3500 years later, mentoring relationships are proving to be a key to unlocking the potential of business growth or career success.

A mentor is someone who a wise and trusted, guide, confidant and advisor. They support and challenge others to new levels of competence and awareness.

Over the last 15 years Krishna De, Managing Director of Oneocean Ltd, has charted the progress of senior managers and leaders of high performing companies and found that those who were the most successful in realising not just business but also personal success, all had mentors.

These executives had engaged with a mentor from early in their career and worked with up to three different mentors at the same time to support their professional and personal growth.

In addition, they then passed on their expertise and knowledge to others acting as mentors themselves.

But what are the specific skills you need to have to be and effective mentor? What should you look for when seeking out a mentor? And what is the difference between a mentor and a coach?

These are some of the questions that will be addressed in a teleconference that Krishna De will be hosting with David Clutterbuck, renound as the world expert in mentoring and the author of almost 50 books on the subject of mentoring, coaching and leadership.

Mentoring is considered as one of the fastest growing strategies in business and personal development and relevant throughout someoneís career.
