Remember: as a mentee you will also benefit from finding support and guidance outside of your line management.Widening networks is an important way to grow confidence and knowledge.Through greater access to leaders within your business, mentoring provides you with opportunities to expand personally and professionally that you might not have in your day to day role. This is why it is so powerful for career progression!

There are a rangeof personal
development benefits that
mentors gain from the experience.
These includes:

A reason for becoming a mentor
is often the feeling of ‘giving back’.
But remember, this isn’t the only positive outcome!
Another key benefit of mentoring for mentors is the effect on leadership that mentoring has. Acting as a mentor means practicing the core skills needed to be a successful manager or team leader and prepares you for senior leadership.
