Who is a mentor ? A mentor is a person who can support, advise and guide you. They typically take the time to get to know you and the challenges you're facing and then use their understanding and personal experience to help you improve. A mentor is someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person. In an organizational setting, a mentor influences the personal and professional growth of a mentee. Mentorship is the patronage, influence, guidance, or direction given by a mentor. Most traditional mentorships involve having senior employees mentor more junior employees, but mentors do not necessarily have to be more senior than the people they mentor. What matters is that mentors have experience that others can learn from. An army trainer mentors new soldiers. According to the Business Dictionary, a mentor is a senior or more experienced person who is assigned to function as an advisor, counsellor, or guide to a junior or trainee. The mentor is responsible for offering help and feedback to the person under their supervision. A mentor's role, according to this definition, is to use their experience to help a junior employee by supporting them in their work and career, providing comments on their work, and, most crucially, offering direction to mentees as they work through problems and circumstances at work. Interaction with an expert may also be necessary to gain proficiency with cultural tools. Mentorship experience and relationship structure affect the "amount of psychosocial support, career guidance, role modeling and communication that occurs in the mentoring relationships in which the protégés and mentors engaged" The person receiving mentorship may be referred to as a protégé (male), a protégée (female), an apprentice, a learner or, in the 2000s, a mentee. Mentoring is a process that always involves communication and is relationship-based, but its precise definition is elusive,with more than 50 definitions currently in use,such as: Mentoring is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the psychosocial support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional development; mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less (the protégé). Mentoring in Europe has existed as early as Ancient Greek. The word's origin comes from Mentor, son of Alcimus in Homer's Odyssey. Since the 1970s it has spread in the United States mainly in training contexts,associated with important historical links to the movement advancing workplace equity for women and minorities, and has been described as "an innovation in American management".

Just wrapped up a webinar on an important topic: class and employment. Natasha Khan, Acting MD at Creative Mentor Network, and Paula Kemp, Head of Stakeholder Engagement at Social Mobility Commission, shared some insightful perspectives on why we need to mind the class gap. The discussion focussed on what socioeconomic background actually means. It’s incredibly nuanced. It's not just about where you come from - it's about the doors that have opened (or stayed shut), the risks you've been able to take and the communities you've been a part of. It's about the freedom to chase opportunities without fear of financial struggle. One thing that stood out is that we're not used to talking about class - it's kinda awkward and can make people feel uncomfortable. I know in the past I’ve felt a bit defensive due to assumptions about intelligence, tied to stereotypes about my northern accent, leading to a feeling of needing to prove myself vs colleagues from more privileged backgrounds. Embracing class diversity isn’t just about levelling the playing field – it’s about enriching it with different perspectives and experiences. That’s why I’m proud to be part of Work & Class; an agency that is growing a team of people from lower socioeconomic groups from the ground up, where people who grew up like me can feel like they fit in and thrive.

I help Students, Teachers and Schools who have challenge with Healthy Studying Habit get it Right. It takes one who knows the Way, take you through the Right Path.
7 Ways to Promote Classroom Respect: 1. Setting Expectations: As the manager of your Classroom endeavour to establish clear and specific expectations for the behavior and communication patterns you want. Make sure students understand the importance of treating everyone with respect. 2. Modeling Respect: As the Classroom Parent or Guardian to the students demonstrate respectful behaviour in your interactions with students and colleagues. Serve as a positive role model for the behaviour you expect to see. 3. Open Communication: As a Mirror to your students encourage open and honest communication in the classroom. Create an environment where students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and concerns without been intimidated, bullied or shunned. 4. Active Listening: Be the kind of Listener you want your learners to be. This helps students to understand the real intent of every communication and appreciate the different perspectives whenever they manifest and also foster respect for diverse opinions by your students. 5. Classroom Agreements: Students should find the Classroom an haven. Involve students in creating a set of classroom agreements or rules that emphasize or encourage respect. This collaborative approach increases buy-in and accountability of the Students as they feel committed. 6. Conflict Resolution: Because most times offences arise unannounced, Students should be taught effective conflict resolution strategies. Equip them with the skills to address disagreements respectfully and find solutions collaboratively to fostal breakdown of law and order. 7. Celebrating Differences: Because all humans are not the same, always emphasize the value of diversity by celebrating Cultural, Linguistic, and Individual differences to create an all inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and welcomed. Training up a Child is beyond paying your child's bills and providing their meals but consciously instilling in them the values of good moral virtues such as respect.

When you are looking for a mentor, the first question is, “What do I want to learn?” Identify where you want to grow and then look for “who.” Here’s a throwback interview with my friend, Christine McHugh, where I talk about the Center for Mentoring Excellence, how leaders can create a mentoring culture in their organization, the skills from my attorney days that I bring to my current work, and more. Thank you, Christine, for giving me the opportunity to share about my professional journey. #MentoringWorks #MentoringMatters #MentoringExpert

Mentorship plays a crucial role in the professional environment. Gaining insights from those who are more experienced can serve as a powerful motivator, inspiring you to strive for similar achievements. A mentor in the workplace does more than just pass on knowledge about job tasks; they can also positively influence your perspective on various aspects of life. The presence of a mentor is beneficial for everyone, as they guide, teach, and inspire.
