Why mentor?
Mentors are leaders. They give back to their professional communities. They coach people to achieve their full potential, and work effectively with people of all different backgrounds and experiences in today’s diverse workplace.
Giving just 18 hours of your time over three months could help change someone’s life.
Through mentoring I’ve learned about how things work in international markets. This is important learning for my company and for me, knowing that our increasingly diverse client base may have different ways of doing business.
You should become a mentor if:
- You have worked for at least two years in your field in Canada.
- You’re thinking about your professional legacy.
- You want to share your industry knowledge with others.
- You want to develop professionally.
Being a mentor can help you:
- Learn leadership skills.
- Build your coaching skills.
- Develop your cross cultural communication skills.
- Add to your professional network.
