Why Mentor: “Research shows that good influence gives you resilience”
Research around child development suggests that if certain things are present in a person’s life as they grow up, they can be protected from the negative influences of the environment that they grow up in. If these things are missing then young people are at greater risk. If these things are present, young people can grow up strong in spite of adversity. Psychologists call this ability to overcome adversity “resilience”.
(From the Mentorship Manual)
I think the above statement gives good reason to the question
“Why mentor?”
I want to open this one up for discussion: How do you feel about becoming a mentor, does it scare you… or is the thought of mentoring someone not daunting?
