The Career Compass: Mentoring to Point You Toward Maximum Professional and Personal Growth

The second edition of The Career Compass was written to acknowledge the evolving practice and discipline of mentoring. The goal of this book is to share new insights, observations and best practices from our own experiences, and from the experiences of our clients around the world.

The Career Compass reveals proven strategies for maximizing your mentoring relationships. It centers on a simple, yet powerful, seven-step model that can be used by mentors and mentees alike. At each step of the Mentoring Journey, mentors and mentees receive practical advice on how to make the most of the mentoring experience. Mentoring in Action stories throughout the book illustrate how successful people have used mentoring to help achieve their goals and reach their full potential. Developed after years of study and testing, The Career Compass is a must-read for anyone who wants to develop, or benefit from, a mentoring relationship.
