1 What is mentorship?

Mentorship is a relationship between a mentor and a mentee, where the mentor provides guidance, feedback, support, and inspiration to the mentee. The mentor is usually someone who has more knowledge, skills, and experience in a specific domain or industry, and who can share their insights and advice with the mentee. The mentee is someone who wants to learn, grow, and achieve their goals, and who can benefit from the mentor's wisdom and network.
