Mentorship with Dr. Deborah Heiser

This week’s theme: Mentorship

A good mentor embodies the same qualities that make a good mentee: a genuine willingness to care and contribute selflessly. True mentorship is driven by generativity—offering guidance, wisdom, and support without expecting recognition or reward. A real mentor leads by example, often without formally announcing their role, simply by sharing their knowledge and nurturing others.

Equally important, a good mentee embraces the mentor’s insights with an open mind and a willingness to learn. Mentorship is about building relationships, sharing expertise, and creating opportunities for growth, ensuring a positive impact that shapes the future for both mentor and mentee.
