Benefits of Mentoring Will Make You a True Leader

May 4, 2016

Welcome to MentorLoft.com, a site dedicated to helping you take charge of your career through the benefits of mentoring.

Before we get into details, think about this. Your boss, your supervisor, even your CEO were where you are at some point in their careers. Someone–a mentor–helped them along the way. Hopefully, they also learned from their mistakes as well.

Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.
–John C. Crosby, philosopher

Mentors help you build your skills, knowledge, and abilities, so you can have the career path you want. The top 3 ways you, young professionals, can benefit from mentoring are these.

You know there are things you need to know to move up the career ladder. We will teach you those things.
You don’t know what you don’t know that will help you move up the career ladder. We will enlighten you in those areas.
You are in charge of your career path. Not your boss, not your boss’s boss, not your mom or dad. Just you. We will help you figure out your career path.

Careers = continuous learning

We all need to learn as we grow–and grow up. We created MentorLoft.com at the urging of our kids, who have experienced gaps in their knowledge as they started their careers. They recognized they don’t know nearly as much as they need to know to move up the career ladder.

Would you profit from the benefits of having a mentor? We think so, and we’re here to help.
