Mentorship Mastery: Facilitating holistic development of another colleague


Is the mentor a Guru? Yes, sort of. Dr. Sunil Maheshwari - Dean, Samatvam Academy says that Mentorship Mastery requires great sincerity from the mentor as well as the mentee. He explains the structure behind the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the psychosocial support. It entails interventions that are founded upon a spirit of openness, empathy, and respect. More

Mentorship is about creating a legitimate and sacred professional space, wherein talented people can authentically reflect upon their past experience and fine-tune the direction for the future.

Mentorship is a supportive relationship between a caring individual who is ready to share knowledge, experience, and wisdom with another who is willing to benefit from this exchange. Mentorship unfolds as an iterative process of three phases.

a) Esteem: Discovery and articulation of the positive core of the mentee.
b) Envision: Formulating a meaningful, engaging and convincing picture of one’s own future.
c) Evoke: Creating a supporting structure for translating the mentee’s vision into reality
