Benefits for the Mentee can include:
- Increased confidence/self-esteem
- Increased sense of value within your job and the Clinical School
- Help and support
- Safe learning environment (can be open about vulnerabilities)
- Increased understanding of your role within the Clinical School
- Focus on specific skills
- Ideas about career opportunities
The benefits are not all one way. Mentors too can gain a sense of value as well as satisfaction from passing on their skills and wisdom; also greater understanding of the Clinical School and how it works, as well as improving one-to-one communication skills, coaching skills and management skills.
