Any IT professional at any point of time in his/her career needs a Mentor, Due to lack of awareness, parents/siblings are not the best sources of mentorship even though they are natural choices In childhood some teachers were mentors. If you really have a successful /trustworthy friend/relative in the same profession, you are very lucky. In many other fields such as art, music, sports mentorship is an acceptable role.

Unfortunately in Information technology field it is not considered an Essential Role. If you are an experienced professional, you should invest some time to mentor young professional/entrepreneur. Its not a completion for you.

A mentor is a person like a Coach in the Cricket team. He/She will constantly analyse your strengths/weakness and progress. With no personal strings attached, a frank advice is natural. One may not like it . But in the long run it will prove valuable.

What is career coaching?

Career coaching is a process in which an experienced coach partners with you in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximise your personal and professional potential.

The process involves

* Discovering, clarifying, and aligning with what you want to achieve

* Encouraging self-discovery

* Eliciting solutions and strategies

* Putting you in charge of your career

The process helps you dramatically improve your outlook towards work and life, while improving your leadership skills and unlocking your potential.

What is mentor?

A mentor is a person who can support, advise and guide you. They typically take the time to get to know you and the challenges you’re facing and then use their understanding and personal experience to help you improve.

This relationship is additional to a manager or boss and benefits from a more personal and confidential structure. Mentors have the potential to become lifelong friends, or the relationship might only last until you have achieved a goal, there is no one size fits all.

It is a fantastic way to foster your personal development and to maximise continuous learning.

What a mentor is not:

While a mentor can provide invaluable support and guidance across a range of topics including mental health, they are not a therapist. It is important to establish this to all parties participating in mentoring.

A mentor is not the same as a coach. Coaches are paid for and provide time-bound teaching on specific topics.

Mentoring is not a magic cure. While mentoring can support a range of development goals and has many benefits for both parties and organisations, it is not going to fix everything. There are many complementary ways to develop your people alongside mentoring.
