Be a good mentor

Mentoring is very much an education buzz word, but it is not a modern day invention. Greek mythology tells the story of Mentor, an alias of Athena the goddess of wisdom, who was charged by Ulysses to raise his son Telemachus. In doing this, Mentor gave his name to the traditional relationship of an older, wiser master taking a younger protégé under their wing. Since these early days, mentoring has evolved to become a more equal and collaborative process that is meant to benefit both parties.
