THE POWER OF MENTORSHIP

THE POWER OF MENTORSHIP

Mentorship is among the most discussed topics today. Recently, I had the privilege of listening to Dr. Edna Orina sharing insights from her experience both as a mentee and a mentor on the essence of effective mentorship, how to achieve it, and its significance in society. Her insights were truly enlightening. According to Dr. Edna, mentorship is a continuous journey that requires ongoing commitment and dedication. Successful mentorship is when mentees are impacted positively as a result of the mentorship process. True success in mentoring is measured by the fruits that result. Though these fruits may not show overnight, in the long run, they should. Dr. Edna highlighted the key qualities of an exceptional mentor:

? A Good Listener

? Effective Communicator

? Honesty and ability to give Candid Feedback

? Has a Passion for Mentoring

? Recognizes the value of Mentorship

? Create a Platform for Mentees to Express Themselves

? Ability to ask Thought-Provoking Questions.

Another vital takeaway from our conversation is that Mentorship is personal. However, mentorship is not limited to in-person interactions; it extends seamlessly to virtual communication platforms. Also, mentorship is not solely about seniority but is rooted in competence.
