Abstract
Mentorship is defined as a relatively long-term relationship in which a mentor provides invaluable growth and development support to a mentee. If expectations are set reasonably and the relationship is maintained, the effect of mentorship on the professional development of the mentee is intense enough that the mentee experiences the results of this affiliation for years after the mentorship has ended. The beauty of the relationship is that the mentee receives continuous encouragement and empowerment from the mentor to steer through challenges and overcome them rather than receiving straight solutions to problems, and that is how personal and professional growth of the mentee occurs. Often the spark of the mentor/mentee relationship is ignited when two individuals meet at the right time during their careers and their personalities click. The mentor shares wisdom with the mentee out of the goodness of his or her heart, and the mentee sees the mentor as a judgement-free trusted guide and benefactor who helps the mentee better understand and navigate through academic/work-life challenges. The continuation of this relationship is secured by the level of effort that both individuals put into building and maintaining it.
