Why should I become a mentee?

Because there are many benefits with low investment in time, such as:

• Gain practical advice, encouragement and support
• Support in transitions – “the mentee feels less isolated”
• Provided with a “sounding board” and receives constructive feedback
• Accelerated skills (and personal) development
• Increase in confidence and motivation
• Become more empowered to make own decisions
• Last but not least, mentoring provides “a safe space”in which you can talk about the challenges you face and about your weaknesses: Stepping out of your comfort zone a little is good for learning and for you to grow.  It also allows you to think about new ideas.
