Slide 1: Demystifying Mentoring Myths
Slide 2: Introduction  When people think of mentoring, they often think of an older executive counseling a young upstart.
Slide 3: Mentoring First Impressions  The senior leader advises the junior employee:  on his career,  how to navigate the world of work, and  what he needs to do to get ahead.
Slide 4: Mentoring Main Changes  But mentoring has changed a lot in the last few decades.  The traditional mentormentee relationship is not necessarily a thing of the past, but it's no longer the standard.
Slide 5: Mentoring Important Aspects  While the concept of mentoring has changed, the need for career counseling has not.  In fact, because most careers take numerous twists and turns in today's world, it's required more than ever.
Slide 6: Mentoring Important Aspects  There is a lot of chaos in the world of work.  While mentoring has morphed, our collective thinking on it has not and many held-over myths still prevail.  We wrote some myths about Mentoring.
Slide 7: You have to find one perfect Mentor  It's actually quite rare these days that people get through their career with only one mentor.  In fact, many people have many advisors they turn to during their lives and several different kinds of networking to interact and seek for advice. Myth 01
Slide 8: Mentoring is a formal long-term relationship  Because the world moves fast and people change jobs and careers more often, a long-term advising relationship may be unrealistic and unnecessary.  Mentoring can be a one-hour mentoring session.  Of course, the advice and guidance may be richer and more relevant if it comes from someone who knows you well and understands your goals. Myth 02
Slide 9: Mentoring is for Junior People  Many people assume that they only need a mentor when they are first starting out in their careers.  It is important to understand that people at every stage benefit from this kind of assistance.  Whether you are making a career change, taking on a new role, or contemplating leaving a job, advice from someone who has done it before can be helpful. Myth 03
Slide 10: Mentoring comes from people with good hearts  Mentoring should be useful to both parties involved and should not be considered a kind of charity.  Before seeking out or setting up a relationship with a mentor, think about what you have to offer him.  It must be considered a win-win proposition. Myth 04
Slide 11: So do you need Mentoring?  Now that you have a better understanding of what mentoring can be, do you need it?  Remember that mentoring can take many shapes and forms — the key is to find the right kind of advice from the right person at the right time.
Slide 12: Principles to Remember Do  Build a networking of people you can turn to for advice when you need it.  Nurture relationships with people whose perspectives you respect.  Think of mentoring as both a long-term and short-term arrangement
Slide 13: Principles to Remember Don´t  Assume that because you are successful or experienced in your field that you don't need a mentor.  Rely on one person to help guide you in your career.  Expect to receive mentoring without providing anything in return.
