The Power of Group Mentoring
The classic definition of mentoring is the one-to-one relationship between a mentor and a mentee. While this personalized approach to professional or personal development has a demonstrable impact, mentoring in a group setting can have similar benefits while providing added dimensions that can help mentees not just through the interaction of the mentor and mentee but also through the added dimensions of peer interactions and reinforcement.
