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.
