Ep23 The Science of Mentoring
What is mentoring and why is it important? What are the benefits of mentoring for individuals and for the organisation? Who is suitable to be a mentor and what are the skills? In this podcast we will also explore the difference between being a coach and a mentor, and what it would take to be a successful mentor for a colleague or leader. We will also help new mentees prepare and get the most out of their mentoring agreement. Finally, Angela and Amanda take a look at the neuroscientific benefits of mentoring for learning and fulfillment for both the mentor and mentee.
