"I was mentoring in the TurkishWIN Mentoring Program for a while. I heard about Reverse Mentoring which gave me a chance to know the new generation better, understand them and work with them more efficiently and in harmony in my workplace. I didn't want to miss the chance! I learned a lot from my mentor in this sense. I had a chance to observe her and try to understand her in every communication we had. While acknowledging her talents in technology, we had a chance to inform each other about new trends. We learned from each other. Most importantly, a young vivacious woman's understanding of a career impressed me a lot. It was a great experience to see her accountability in her responsibilities and she performed her mentoring job in a very planned, sincere and earnest way."

Food for Thoughts:

We hear a lot about the importance of having a mentor to guide us both personally and professionally. However, committing someone to be her mentor will help you a lot in growing your business or in your professional life.

Dos and Donts:

Maintain a steady presence in the mentee's/mentor's life.

Review your mentor's background before your first meeting.

Don't forget communication means listening too.

Don't expect anything in return for your mentorship.
