January is "National Mentoring Month"

Happy New Year!  With all of the great ideas and resolutions still fresh in our minds, perhaps this would be the perfect time to consider Mentorship. Either being a Mentor to someone or having a Mentor share their experience with you.

My friend Rey Carr, CEO and Co-Founder of Peer Resources recently sent me a message reminding me that January is "National Mentoring Month".

So, let me ask you for your comments on: "How has having a Mentor helped you?"

And if you are looking for some ideas (other than giving a hug to a Mentor) ... here are a few of the listed, THINGS TO DO IN JANUARY from the Website: http://www.nationalmentoringmonth.org/
  1. Become a mentor in your community.
  2. Learn more about mentoring.
  3. Partner with a mentoring organization.
  4. Tell five friends about National Mentoring Month.
  5. Think about the mentors in your life and post a tribute to them online.
  6. Read the latest research and find resources on mentoring. 
And coming back to it, my question to you is: "How has having a Mentor helped you?" 
Please add your comments to this POST. Thanks.
