Research demonstrates that mentoring makes a difference, a positive difference.
It not only impacts the trajectory of the mentee, but it also affects the success of the parent company. Through the advice and guidance of a mentor, a protege is able to make professional choices that will enhance her career. The skills and opportunities garnered by a mentee give her the self-confidence to try new and different patterns that will blend into a system that works comfortably for her. As a result, success breeds success for everyone involved. They are all valuable and work to build successful networks for all participants.
