Enriching the Experience

• Mentoring is invisible. – Mentoring is fundamentally a private and confidential

relationship.

– Extremely important to celebrate successes and highlight

professional development that has benefited from mentoring.

• Link mentoring to other improvement

initiatives. – If mentoring is seen as a single initiative void of relationship

to career or personal goals then it is AT RISK.
