Patience:
Being a mentor is like being a parent. It takes equal parts caring, understanding and sometimes “tough love”.

people.
Be a role model:
Setting a great example and a high level of expectation for the mentee to rise to is crucial for getting the best out of
individuals.
Committed to the role of mentoring:
They have to realize that at times, it can be thankless and tiresome but despite that, they are willing to continue the
role of working to get the best out of people and having a positive impact on others.
Open to sharing as much as possible:
Having the ability to choose experiences that they feel are appropriate and helpful, while also sharing the mistakes
and failures not just the successes.
Want the mentee to succeed
They realize that they are not in a competition and want individuals to be successful.
Has great experience
They have done a number of things within the field while maintaining a good reputation and being esteemed by
colleagues in the professional community
