Mentoring is a powerful tool to help you grow as an individual and often leads to increased opportunities for better performance in your school or coaching.

As long as your goals align, this will help to create a successful and beneficial relationship.
To make it easier, we’ve outlined some steps on how to strengthen the mentor/mentee bond.
