Success happens when best practices are in place for the three key ingredients: The Mentor. The Mentee. The Relationship.

There are three types of mentoring.

• Traditional One-on-one Mentoring. A mentee and mentor are matched, either through a program or on their own.
• Distance Mentoring. A mentoring relationship in which the two parties (or group) are in different locations.
• Group Mentoring. A single mentor is matched with a cohort of mentees.

Good mentors are enthusiastic people, enjoying the role they play in helping others achieve their goals. There are many qualities of a good mentor. While considering a mentor, look for someone who is enthusiastic, a good fit, respectful of others and a respected expert in their field.
