Mentorship is a relationship between an experienced and knowledgeable person helping guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person
1. Accountability
A mentor establishes accountability for your actions. It's more likely you will follow through with a plan because you are made accountable.
2. Decision-making
A mentor helps with decision-making. Having two minds work on a problem is exponentially more effective than one.
3. Experience
A mentor offers valuable insight gained from experience. You will profit from awareness of their past mistakes.
4. Relationship-building
A mentor will help you broaden your network. You could be introduced to new people relevant to your development.
5. Personal development
You will grow personally and professionally as a result of your relationship with your mentor
