BUSINESS MENTORING
WHAT IS A MENTOR?
The word "mentor" has its origins in ancient Greek mythology. "The Odyssey," Mentor is a character who is a friend and advisor to Odysseus. When Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, goes off to fight in the Trojan War, he entrusts the care and guidance of his son Telemachus to Mentor.
Over time, the term "quote" evolved to describe a more experienced and knowledgeable individual who guides and supports the development of a less experienced or newer person in a specific context, such as in the workplace or in personal development.
Why Consider A Business Mentor?
In essence, everyone can benefit from having a mentor, especially a leader or business owner.
Leading a business entails juggling numerous roles daily. Additionally, as the leader of the business, you need a confidante within the organisation who you can trust to know your emotions, uncertainties, challenges, or even concerns and ideas about the direction you should take next.
This is where a mentor proves invaluable. Having someone by your side who gets your perspective understands your emotions, and serves as a crucial sounding board, is hugely beneficial.
A mentor not only provides a supportive ear but also challenges your thinking, offering valuable insights to help you navigate your business journey effectively.
