Your mentor will be an independent voice, outside your direct sphere of activity. You can bounce ideas off them without fear of comeback

They will help you to:

• Identify challenges and obstacles
• Come up with a strategy for dealing with these challenges and obstacles
• Discuss achievements and setbacks along the way
• Sustain success in the long-term

A good mentor is a tutor, always challenging you, inspiring you and demanding that you do your best. Mentors can improve confidence and support your career development. They have a wealth of professional experience that will shape how they guide and they have put time aside to foster your growth and development.
