A good mentor listens, but also gives their own opinion. They do not dictate, but rather advise. They are available to the mentee for support and as a resource. Listens and acts as a guide for the mentee, suggesting possible courses of action and helping them think through and act on concerns.

Impactful

Out of all my mentors, one continually impacts my life. Three words she uttered while explaining why the task of keeping our files up-to-date was important were unexpected and strange, but utterly sensible and unforgettable.

SO MANY GREAT ANSWERS HERE! I mentor for a living and could not wait to give a few keystrokes… From being an inspiration to bold and brave honesty, these are the heads of the nails to drive in your frame of leadership. If I can add anything it would simply be… CONSISTENCY.

The long game is what truly wins the hearts and minds of those you serve. Lose battles, but win the wars with steady steps on strong legs that stay your course. Build and honor relationships with trust by being a compass that always points true north.
