So you are thinking of becoming a mentor. Let's explore what that means. The
definition of a mentor is "To serve as a trusted counselor or teacher to (another
person)".
The Role of a Mentor "is about one person helping another to achieve something.
More specifically, something that is important to them. It is about giving help and
support in a non-threatening way, in a manner that the recipient will appreciate
and value and that will empower them to move forward with confidence towards
what they want to achieve. Mentoring is also concerned with creating an informal
environment in which one person can feel encouraged to discuss their needs and
circumstances openly and in confidence with another person who is in a position to
be of positive help to them".
For women, this connection is particularly important. Women quite naturally
share with each other on a deeply personal level. When they need wisdom -- when
tough decisions come fast and furious and they don't know what to do next-- women
all long for someone to turn to.
What are the qualities of a good mentor?
Be accepting of the person you are mentoring.
Be personable and flexible.
Show respect.
Have a spirit of mutual collaboration; dignify the learner.
Acknowledging the abilities of the mentee.
Be patient.
A person who has been in their shoes.

"There are many persons ready to do what is right because in their hearts
they know it is right. But they hesitate, waiting for the other fellow to make
the first move - and he, in turn, waits for you."
An African American singer, Marian Anderson found more success and fame in Europe than America until in
1939 the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) refused to allow her to sing in their Constitution Hall in
Washington, DC. In part because of the public attention brought by this incident, Marian Anderson became one of
the best-known African American women of the 20th century
