Thing 11- mentoring

So far I haven't been involved with mentoring, but can appreciate the benefits that a good mentor can provide especially to a newer member of the profession.
I guess I have been unofficially mentored, my line manager is very approachable and over the years I have asked her for help and advice which has always been freely given.
Also when I started in my present post a very experienced colleague helped me in lots of ways with advice, wisdom and friendship. Her unofficial mentoring was absolutely invaluable, it helped me gain confidence and spread my wings, and even though she has since retired her influence continues. I often think what would she think about this or that, thanks Rachel!
