Abstract

The aim of effective mentorship is to promote the development of the learner (Daloz, 2004). This article highlights my own leadership journey, sharing how mentoring has given my professional life direction, taught me passion, and how mentoring has fostered the development of my leadership skills. I emphasize several of my mentoring experiences and conclude by sharing deductions I have drawn as a direct result of these experiences.
