“ Importance of Mentoring”
If you touch me soft and gentle If you look at me and smile at me, If you listen to me talk sometimes,  before you talk, I will grow, really grow. - Bradley
“ The best mentors are the people  in your life who push you just a  little bit outside your “comfort zone” - Leigh Curl
What is Mentoring ? Mentoring from the Greek word meaning  “enduring”  is defined  as a sustained relationship between a youth and   an adult.  Through continued involvement the adult  (usually older & always more experienced)  offers support, guidance and assistance as the younger person goes through a difficult period, faces new challenges, or works to correct earlier problems.  Mentoring is thus a development-oriented initiative.
Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction. John C. Crosby
Three things important  Mentoring Coaching  Counseling
Mentoring “ Mentors” focus  on the individual learner  by developing their career or life. They act as friends, willing to play the part of adversary in challenging assumptions.  They list and question  to encourage the learner to widen their own view : they are happy for ownership and direction of the relationship to lie with the learner and they  accept ambiguity as an exciting part of their life , providing the learner with openings for change and autonomy.
Coaching  “ Coaching”, by contrast  deals with specific   problem and performance skills.  It is solution-oriented. It focuses on finding solution or at least finding our better ways to cope with specific work related issues. The Coach explores the problem with learner and sets up opportunities for the leaner to try our new skills :  ownership is shared and puzzling out ambiguity is seen as a challenge
Counseling “ Counseling” is a part of mentoring but it is not the same thing. While Mentoring is  reserved for those who exhibit self-responsibility, Counseling is useful for everyone. Counseling focuses on deep behavioral & emotional issues, on life, needs & desires of the counselee and is designed to have the counselee ultimately help himself by becoming more self responsible.  Counseling is part of the role of all good managers.
Successful people turn everyone who can help them  into sometime mentors !” John C. Crosby
