For me it’s actually frustrating.

Our college uses peer mentoring as a part of our professional development processes. A follow up article might be suggestions for structuring the relationship for the best results:
1. Peer mentors should meet regularly, i.e. a monthly lunch.
2. Peer mentoring should mean that both sides share their goals and ideas. It’s not a one way street.
3. Peer mentors should arrive with written goals, objectives and concerns and review the document occasionally.
ETC. Thanks again.

The word ‘mentor’ is a little dry – how about ‘excellence comrade’, ‘supremacy sponsor’ or ‘awesome agent’.

Just kidding.

No matter what title they are given, I’d never actually thought of the merits of being mentored by someone at the same stage as me in life (not necessarily the same age…). I’d say the benefits of having a peer-mentor over one that is at a different stage in life is, aside from the empathy factor, they can give you a different perspective on similar experiences. Something I aim to seek more of…..

Thanks this.

He just push rubbish to you to increase your work burden but not help you seeking further appropriate suggestion from seniors.

She talked a lot about the importance of mentors, particularly for professionals in our 20s and 30s.

I’m a huge fan of mentoring because the bottom line is that no one gets to be great without first watching someone else’s example.

If you are looking at a potential mentor, and they are not someone who you would cosider trading places with, keep looknig.
