A mentor, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and, often, younger person. This is what we all envision when mentoring someone — youth and inexperience.

As a person that has been mentored and also still aims to coach others, I can detail the top 3 traits I believe someone must keep an eye out for in a coach:

Kindness
Excellent coaches are always going to share just what they recognize– with any person that asks. They do so for the good of the business, the company and because they desire you, the person seeking the mentoring, to prosper. Coaches never ever do it for personal glory. In fact, mentoring is their way of “paying it ahead,” so they are frequently generous in supplying their assistance.

Sincerity
If you’re seeking someone to offer you a gold celebrity even if you’re trying, you have the incorrect concept concerning exactly what mentoring is. A mentor should constantly be honest with the guidance dispensed, also if it hurts a little. A straight-shooting mentor will be much more advantageous in the long run compared to somebody that is constantly commending you.

Discernment
For the mentorship to prosper, there need to be a specific degree of discretion and count on. If a coach is a person from your personal company, he or she must have the ability to maintain confidences; or else, major rifts might occur between employees; supervisors might be massaged the wrong method. Mentees should really feel that they can speak to their coach regarding any obstacle they’re dealing with, without worries of repercussion.

I think this will give you an idea before choosing a mentor.
