Noun1. An experienced and trusted adviser, teacher.

One of my early mentors taught me that you cannot see the picture when you are in the frame. We are not programmed to see our potential, we can see potential in other people, but we cannot see our own potential. We also cannot see our own invisible boundaries or blind spots. What’s really important is not having our blind spot exposed but having someone with trained eyes and trained ears who has a vested interest in you. Entering into a Mentoring Relationship with a senior HR professional provides invaluable insight beyond your own education and experience. Whether you’re a new HR professional looking for career advice or a mid-career professional looking for guidance on moving up the ladder or into another area of HR practice, finding a mentor and becoming a mentee has many benefits:

1. Access to a support system during critical stages of your career development
