The Benefits of Being a Mentor

Sometimes it seems like the primary source of benefits in mentorship is for


the mentee, but nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is, the
mentor can be the one who gets more out of the relationship. Let's look at
a few of the benefits of being a mentor.

Makes Everything Feel New Again

It's kind of like watching a child play in a park. You learn everything new
again from their fresh view of life. Butterflies look more colorful, flowers
smell better, and everything is much more fun. The same applies if you're
a mentor for an up-and-coming star in your company or any company.
Watching them learn and grow is fun, and it feels good to see.

Improves Job Satisfaction

It feels great that someone will someday take over where you left off.
Mentorships can help you avoid job boredom in your job. You'll feel a lot
more satisfied with your career when you realize that someone else would
love your job and is trying to become who you are.

Encourages Self-Reflection

Working with someone hungry can help you reflect on yourself and what
you're doing in your career. Are you really doing enough? How well do you
know yourself? This relationship will help you think about these factors.

Builds More Professional Relationships

When you start working with mentees, you will build a network of people
who like you, know you, and trust you - even when they move on to a new
corporation or start a new business. They'll think of you, recommend you,
and want to keep working with you in some way.

Increases Peer Recognition

When you are a mentor for others and take care in your mentorships, your
peers will respect you for doing it and think of you when it comes to
leadership. They'll see you as more of a leader than others, which can pay
off for you.
Enhances Learning and Development

When you're trying to help someone else see their learning deficiencies
and improve upon them, you will notice yours more too. You will want to
be a good example by taking more classes, attending seminars, and
enhancing your development.

Grows Your Network

For every mentee you work with, your network will grow by not just one but
probably five to ten people due to the people you'll meet through them and
the people you'll meet for them when you look for people to help them.

If you want to garner these benefits of being a mentor, it's essential to


seek to be a great mentor by learning about the skills needed, taking your
mentorships seriously, and putting a lot into it. You get out of it what you
put into it, just like everything else in life.
