Hence, it is very pertinent that we understand the importance and power of mentorship, that;
- It instills self-confidence which is an attribute inherent in highly successful people. It boosts self-worth. It is also the antidote for very low self-esteem. While escalating success it deescalates fear. These were fearful men initially but mentorship inculcated boldness in them. They were able to defend themselves before learned and noble men. Mentorship empowers you for problem-solving, and also to handle challenges as they come.
- Knowledge acquired by mentorship is a highly specialized one and so is superior. Mark these words unlearned and ignorant men. Mentorship dispels ignorance. So when it comes to mentorship academic background or records amounts to little. I have seen people who ventured into daring and challenging fields different from what they studied in school become successful by reason of mentorship. Here what matters most is your passion and willingness to learn.
- It is ideal for the unveiling of talents. One key target of mentorship is the discovery, nurturing, and unveiling of talents. Mentorship helps in the fulfillment of dreams and aspirations. It is an outlet for the expression of latent potentials. It brings out the best in people. Hence, mentorship is ideal for professional, and personal growth and development.

A mentor is an experienced instructor or a guide. He or she must be someone who takes a personal interest in your success and is committed to helping you reach your full potential. It must be someone who doesn’t only point to the way to success for you but is willing to take you “by the hand” and lead you to your destination. Also, it must be someone who inspires you to succeed, someone who has done what you want to do and you aspire to be like him.
And in my own words, a mentor is someone who gives you feathers to fly high even more than him through the impartation of specialized skills and knowledge and wealth of experience. The mentor is the connecting bridge to fame and stardom.

Mentorship according to the Oxford Dictionary is guidance provided by a mentor, especially in a company or institution. One important feature of mentorship is that it is relationship-based. It is a relationship between the person with vast experience (a mentor) and someone who is eager to learn (a mentee). And one important tool operation in the process is communication. The process thrives on good communication to produce an enormous and positive result.
Hence, mentorship can be advanced as a relationship in which a person with a wealth of experience in a specialized field helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable individual. The aim of mentorship is to discover and unlock potential. The products of the process are highly successful in their chosen fields.
