Mentors are worth their weight in gold and typically have more faith and confidence in the mentee than they do. Mentees receive valuable support, encouragement, and feedback from esteemed mentors. What has been your experience as either a mentor or mentee? Within the veterinary hospital, mentorships can be formally defined, layering into the strategic plan for team success. For both the mentee and the mentor the relationship may be a wonderful discovery in personal and professional growth, elevating technical and emotional intelligent, hard soft skills. Participants will outline the steps to take in developing effective mentorships.
