Being an ODN Europe Mentor

A mentor should have expertise in his or her field of knowledge, a willingness to commit the time and energy required, and the ability to build trust-based, confidential relationships.  He or she should also be able to help a mentee set and attain meaningful goals.

Regardless of the goals of the mentoring relationship, successful mentors, according to feedback from mentees, seem to share some basic characteristics:

  • they are willing to share their personal and professional experiences
  • they offer support in a non-judgemental way
  • they are skilled, experienced and knowledgeable
  • they give sound advice
  • they listen well
  • they ask relevant questions
  • they challenge
