A mentor is not always a subject matter expert or a teacher. Mentors can inspire you to discover a better path for personal and professional development. Mentors possess natural talents to serve others, but they also work to become leaders and grow every day. Throughout our episode, we explore interpersonal/soft skills for mentors. Listen to our conversation to learn more about soft skills and the misconceptions that exist when mentoring. Level it up with our book recommendations below:
