Synopsis

It’s a Call to Action. The Mentor Model is a book that speaks from personal experience, observations, and research about the importance of building and sustaining a mentor-mentee relationship. Research shows that every successful person has had the help of a mentor. The goal of this book is to inspire and persuade the reader (young and experienced professionals) to seek after mentees, and for aspiring professionals and adolescents to seek after a mentor. The mentoring relationship is a two-way street, as illustrated in this book. Mentoring can’t wait. Former President Obama has issued a charge, asking everyone to join the movement that has helped so many people become successful. There are so many children, youth, and young professionals who wait in need of guidance and support to achieve their potential. Now is the time to accept the call to mentorship.
