• Personal Inquiry Question

“MENTORS ARE HELPERS. THEIR STYLE RANGES

FROM THAT OF A PERSISTENT ENCOURAGER

WHO HELPS US BUILD SELF-CONFIDENCE, TO

THAT OF A STERN TASKMASTER WHO TEACHES

US TO APPRECIATE EXCELLENCE IN

PERFORMANCE. WHATEVER THEIR STYLE, THEY

CARE ABOUT US AND WHAT WE ARE

TRYING TO DO.”

SHEA, GORDON (1992)

“Mentoring is a relationship which gives

people the opportunity to share their

professional skills ad experiences,

and to grow and develop in the

process. Typically, mentoring takes

place between a more experienced

and a less experienced employee.”

Office of the Director of Equal Opportunity in Public

Employment. (1997)

I AM ONLY ONE. BUT STILL I AM ONE. I CANNOT DO EVERYTHING, BUT STILL I CAN DO SOMETHING. AND BECAUSE I CANNOT DO EVERYTHING, I WILL NOT REFUSE TO DO THE SOMETHING THAT I CAN DO..Edward Everett Hale
