Mentoring is defined as a ‘mutually beneficial relationship which involves a more experienced person helping a less experienced person to identify and achieve their goals’.  Mentoring can provide some of the most sought after attributes that entureneers look for; industry awareness and first hand knowledge of the challenges of life in the space.  A mentor provides support, a sounding board, knowledge, encouragement, guidance, and constructive feedback to the mentee by developing a genuine interest in the growth of their abilities and talents. A mentee actively seeks support and guidance in their career and professional development from an experienced planner. A mentee always has ultimate responsibility for their own business and professional development. Mentoring is not one participant directing another, controlling or being responsible for another's professional development, a method of bypassing a manager or supervisor, nor a means of obtaining an unfair advantage of career advancement.
