  3. One of many definitions… “Mentoring is a developmental partnership through which one person shares knowledge, skills, information and perspective to foster the personal and professional growth of someone else. We all have a need for insight that is outside of our normal life and educational experience. The power of mentoring is that it creates a one-of-a-kind opportunity for collaboration, goal achievement and problem-solving.” University of South Carolina CMCIS http://moaablogs.org/spouse/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/mentor.jpg

  4. Qualities of good mentors They make it about you. They can reassure. They can inspire. They balance freedom and guidance. They provide specific feedback. They are also interested in your personal and professional growth. http://www.peterstark.com/2012/great-mentors-common/

  5. Person #1: Ask a question. Person #2: Turn it around and make it about them. Exercise #2 1. Making it about them… Examples “Good question, what do you think about that…” “That’s an interesting question. Why do you ask (smiling)? “Wow, why have you been thinking about this lately?” “Do you have any thoughts on that?” “Does this worry you? Tell me more?” “Is this something that would make you happy?” http://www.peterstark.com/2012/great-mentors-common/

  6. Person #1: Share a mistake (made up one is fine). Person #2: Reassure your mentee. 2. Reassuring… Exercise #3 Example Volunteer: Dr. Sakai, I don’t know if I have a chance to get into medical school. I got a C in organic chemistry… Me: Hey buddy. You sound very disappointed. But it’s not the end of the world. There are many hurdles to clear along the way and few of us get through them all without a stumble. But you’ve got two more years of college to make up for this. So make this your one stumble, pick yourself up, and keep going. It’s all still within your reach. Volunteer: (Look reassured) http://www.peterstark.com/2012/great-mentors-common/

  7. Person #1: Look at your mentor as if you need inspiration. Person #2: Inspire. 3. Inspiring… Exercise #4 Example Volunteer: Sad face. Me: I went to college at U.C. Berkeley and sat down in a lecture hall with 2000 other freshman to listen to a speaker named Glen Seaborg. He talked of the cyclotron and the discovery of elements on the periodic table. Two in particular I remember he discussed because he discovered them. Californium Berkelium I was filled with pride. “This is what I did. What will you do?” www.gizmocrazed.com/
