13. 3. MENTORING & EPWN
WHAT IS MENTORING?
Mentoring is a voluntary learning partnership through which a more experienced
professional (the mentor) shares his expertise and experience to support someone else
(the mentee) in achieving her professional development goals.
Research suggests that working with a mentor in the world of business can make a big
difference to the professional advancement of a mentee.
"Women with a mentor increased their odds of being placed at midmanager or above by
56% over women without a mentor." (Catalyst 2010).
‘‘Gratitude’, ‘learning’ and ‘privilege’ are the three terms we hear frequently, when people talk about their
experiences as mentor or mentee.’
(David Clutterbuck, Everyone Needs a Mentor, 2006:3)
“Mentoring is a relationship that is created to share knowledge and experience for learning in a
purposeful way.”
(Women@WorkNo7, EPWN)

FINAL THOUGHT
To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.
Chinese Proverb
"Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The
stretch comes not from travel's immediate
rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights,
smells and sounds, but with experiencing
first hand how others do differently what we
believed to be the right and only way."
Ralph Crawshaw
