Triple Creek Associates: Web-Based Mentoring Solutions

Each of us can look at our lives and recall people who touched it in meaningful and powerful ways. These people offered us guidance, support, wisdom, a safe haven where we could expose our uncertainties and grow as perpetual learners. These people were our mentors, whether we realized it or not.

Mentoring is a process through which one person facilitates the development of another by sharing known resources, expertise, values, skills, perspectives, attitudes and proficiencies. It allows the learner to build skills and knowledge while attaining goals for personal and career development. Conversely, it provides the opportunity for the experienced individual to further enhance his/her skill and knowledge areas by continuously reassessing and building upon those areas.

Mentoring brings value to everyone involved in its practice: mentees, mentors and the organization(s) for which they work.

Mentees have an opportunity to gain wisdom from someone who has traveled the path before them.
Mentors have an opportunity to invest themselves in someone who seeks what they can offer.
The organization has the opportunity to share and spread its acquired learning and know-how.

In addition to those who are directly involved in its practice, mentoring also helps the community at large because it fosters an environment in which people work together and assist one another in their drive to become better skilled, more intelligent individuals. Together we are all sharing…solving…succeeding.
