Mentoring – How to get it,

and how to give it

Mentor

„ An experienced and trusted advisor

who has a direct interest in the

development and education of a less

experienced individual

MENTORING

„ Based on Greek myth:

„ Odysseus leaves to fight the Trojan war… his friend Mentor is left behind to guide the journey of Telemachus, Odysseus’ son, from youth to manhood

„ Most critical function of the Mentor is to

help mentee accomplish his/her ‘Dream’:

„ A ‘Dream’ to succeed, accomplish, and leave a legacy Bauchner, Arch Dis Child 2002; 86:

However…

„ Men are 3x more likely than women to have positive relationships with a mentor

„ 10 – 32% of mentees report that their mentor used their work to further the mentor’s career rather than the mentee’s career

Nature’s Guide for Mentors

„ “For me there is a difference between a supervisor and a mentor. With the latter you find that you are not simply a student with a research project, but a student with a career in front that the mentor helps you start.”

„ “First and foremost, M is incredibly passionate about science. She eats, sleeps, and breaths science. Her enthusiasm is absolutely infectious, and it creates a wonderful atmosphere in the laboratory.”

„ “M without a doubt, sees all his interactions with people as lifelong. He keeps in touch with ex-students, postdocs and so on after they have moved on.” Adrian L, Dennis C, Campbell P. Nature 2007:447:
