First Mentor

First Mentors
The former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, Lew Platt, believes in the value of mentoring, In a letter addressing HP’s K-12 program, Platt sees "educating our children as both a business and a social imperative. After all, the young faces we see today are the faces of the workforce and customers of tomorrow." He recommends getting personally involved - "Speak to a class. Be a mentor for a student or teacher, either in person or by e-mail."
The State of California’s Resources Agency also has a mentor program that outlines the Qualifications of a Mentor, What Mentors Do, and What Makes You a Mentor that are all worth reading.
Adult Mentors
Mentors are common in educational settings. This University of Oregon site provides guidance in selecting a mentor as well as outlining the role and duties of the mentor.
Business Mentors
So what does it take to be a business mentor? It takes the same level of interest, commitment, and confidence in your own abilities that it takes to mentor a student. It also requires that you be sincerely interested in someone else’s growth. You won’t win any awards, but you will have the satisfaction of having done an important job.
Who becomes a mentor? Why do they do it? The answers are as varied as the people involved. Some of us were lucky enough to have had a mentor and want to repay that. Others just want to help out, be a positive influence, or give something to their community.
What ever your reason for being a mentor, you will find it a special experience. Nothing can quite match the self satisfaction you get from sharing your experience to help others.
Dear All,
Bottom line is that you must be honest, sincere and able to show care/concern for the mentee. After all, the young faces we see today are the faces of the workforce and customers of tomorrow as quoted by former CEO of HP.
Take care.

Yes, Mentoring is self sacrifice. There are no accolades. There must
be a genuine and sincere want to help a mentee to achieve their goals/
dreams.
