This week was quite a busy week for me as I attended the Prince’s Trust mentoring training for 2 days.
I would like to share some quick takeaway points in mentoring young people.
First, let the young person (mentee) talk by asking open questions.
As people more mature in age, we tend to form opinions in our minds based on our longer life experience.
However, it can be counter-productive in mentoring others if we form our own opinions (and sometimes solutions) too early.
In addition, as suggested by some people, it is better to teach someone to fish than just providing them with the fish.
