What does it mean to be a mentor?

I was asked what does it mean to be a mentor. Here's what I replied:

Being a mentor is a deeply satisfying experience. You watch another move through various stages of personal development, knowing you were there to encourage and give advice. 

I think of 2 college Professors who took me under their wings and guided me in my career. I am eternally grateful for their inspiration and leadership. Now I try to pay that it forward with my friends at Toastmasters. 

(Thanks Dr. Porter and Dr. Nichols – you guys were great!)

  If you live in the Tampa Bay area and would like to see mentors in action, then come to at the next Dale Carnegie Leadership Training for Managers Free Session  >>>  http://tampabay.dalecarnegie.com/events/leadership_training_for_managers_free_session/
