ABSTRACT

As an African proverb says, “It takes a village to raise a child.” I strongly believe that many of us benefit from having many mentors in our lives, formal or informal. Not a single mentor, but a collection of them. It is important that we take advantage of all of them. They are all around us, and there is much to learn. Mentoring can benefit both the mentee as well as the mentor. There are so many opportunities to mentor or to be mentored with extraordinary benefits. It is a win-win relationship! No one needs to feel isolated or miss the benefits of mentoring.
