The Importance of Mentoring

Modern Gen X Woman

The old belief around mentoring being one way is antiquated. For the first time, we have four generations in the workforce and each generation has insights and skills to teach other generations. Companies with a strong mentorship program benefit from the cross-pollination of ideas, points of view, and diversity.

Mentees, regardless of age, see great benefits but have you also thought about how incredible it is to be a mentor? In this episode we’re going to talk all about the importance of mentoring for us, for the next generation, and beyond.

In this episode, we’re talking about…

• The difference between mentoring and coaching
• How mentoring makes people feel seen and heard creating trust
• Mentoring fosters innovation
• Why mentoring doesn’t need to be top-down or a formal arrangement
• Using mentoring to fix the broken rung of the leadership ladder
• The benefits of mismatched and group mentoring
