Mentoring is a form of coaching, built on the ethos that the best way to learn is by finding someone who has already achieved what you want to achieve, and learning directly from them.

You can think of your mentor as an older, wiser, sibling, or maybe a village Elder—someone who has a rich and deeply nuanced perspective on a certain topic. Your mentor will walk beside you on your growth or healing journey, sharing the skills that helped them and pointing out the potential pitfalls they may have found the hard way. You do not have to figure everything out on your own!
