1 Develop an innovative mindset

One of the benefits of mentoring is that it helps you develop an innovative mindset, which is essential for adapting to changing environments and overcoming challenges. An innovative mindset is a combination of curiosity, openness, resilience, and confidence that enables you to learn from failures, experiment with new approaches, and embrace uncertainty. Mentors can help you cultivate this mindset by asking you thoughtful questions, challenging your assumptions, encouraging your curiosity, and celebrating your achievements. Mentees can also inspire you to adopt an innovative mindset by sharing their fresh perspectives, enthusiasm, and feedback.

Everything starts off with MINDSET - keeping and cultivating an inclusive mindset is the way to progress. Keeping an open mind to career options for example can help the mentee explore various avenues in connection to their soft/heart and hard skills.

2 Improve your innovation process

Another way that mentoring can help you innovate is by improving your innovation process, which is the systematic way you generate, test, and implement new ideas. An effective innovation process requires a balance of divergent and convergent thinking, as well as a clear understanding of your goals, resources, and constraints. Mentors can help you improve your innovation process by providing you with frameworks, tools, and best practices that can guide you through the different stages of ideation, prototyping, validation, and scaling. Mentees can also help you improve your innovation process by offering you their input, suggestions, and opinions on your ideas and prototypes.

3 Enhance your innovation collaboration

A third way that mentoring can help you innovate is by enhancing your innovation collaboration, which is the ability to work with others to create and deliver value. Innovation collaboration requires a high level of trust, communication, and diversity among the team members, as well as a shared vision, culture, and strategy. Mentors can help you enhance your innovation collaboration by connecting you with relevant people, networks, and opportunities that can support your innovation goals. Mentees can also help you enhance your innovation collaboration by bringing their unique skills, experiences, and perspectives to the table, and by challenging you to think differently and creatively.

4 Increase your innovation impact

A fourth way that mentoring can help you innovate is by increasing your innovation impact, which is the positive difference you make in the world with your ideas and solutions. Innovation impact depends on how well you understand your customers, stakeholders, and context, as well as how well you measure, communicate, and improve your results. Mentors can help you increase your innovation impact by giving you constructive feedback, advice, and guidance on how to align your innovation with your purpose, values, and mission. Mentees can also help you increase your innovation impact by sharing their stories, needs, and expectations, and by showing you how your innovation affects their lives and communities.

Mentorship is super impactful in any organisation. Similar to coaching, mentoring has a huge impact on the company value as well. What companies need to do more of is to reassess their mentorship schemes/programs in order to remove any bias. Mentorship inside the company if it's not done well, can be biased and could contribute to building a systemic toxic culture. More and more companies are contracting professional mentors in order to provide the employees with objective, non-biased mentorship.

I’ve been a mentor and mentor. Later in my career I enjoyed being a mentor, without doubt supporting others through their challenges made me reflect upon how I was leading my own organisation through change and the advice I was giving to my mentor I should and took onboard my own leadership journey. Being a mentor is not a drain on your time but an investment in your own learning

Diversity is often such a key driver of innovation which is why I am a massive fan of co-mentoring. A co-mentoring relationship often entails a senior leaders mentoring people who are very different to them so they can get a far better understanding of the lived experience of younger and often, historically marginalised employees. At the same time that senior leader is able to share their own experience and knowledge to help accelerate the career of that more junior employee. Some organisations call this reverse mentoring but I am not a fan of that as a description as it suggests all the value flows from the junior person to the senior person and I believe the benefits from the relationship must to be mutual.
