    The well-traveled are great advisers when you meet a fork in the road RT @raehanbobby: Q1: Why have Mentors? #Mentorship #pocchat

    A1: It's like having a hand in the clouds that both pulls us up with him/her but also keeps us grounded #PoCchat

    Best mentor ever was the man who told me I had be coddled and spoiled and it was time to grow up. :) #pocchat

    A3: A great mentor is both authentically and sometimes brutally Honest, but fully Supportive #PoCchat

    RT @raehanbobby: A3: Mentors are like Networking: Anywhere, anytime with anyone. You just have to ask.#PoCchat #pocchat

    If you see "mentor" in someone often you are not grasping the idea -- nor the power. #pocchat

    A4: Make it your responsibility to connect, engage, ask questions, nurture the relationship... #pocchat

    A4 At some point it would have to be a two way street. The mentee can be a source of advice for the mentor. #PoCchat

    Lois Martin@LoisMarketing
    A mentor for a certain aspect of your life or career is one thing -- and can be valuable. A life mentor in another thing entirely. #pocchat

    A4 Listen. Share your own stories. Discuss options. Let them make their own choices but be there when they ask for help #pocchat

    @AskWhatNext #PoCchat I agree, I learn from the people I mentor just as much, reverse-mentoring, especially the young folks ;)

    A good mentor is going to see potential in you and want to help develop that. #PoCchat

    @inksnatcher Yes. One who is supportive and encourages. But who is also open-minded. #pocchat

    Q5 A mentor is never around to fix a person's life; she is there to nurture the greatness already in the mentee. #pocchat

    Q5 Focusing on what's wrong in a person will never grow him, it will only depress him. Highlight the gold. #pocchat

    @raehanbobby Do not dictate, but inspire. Help the other person build themselves with their capacity. Always be there for them #PoCChat

    Even though Mentees want them to fix. It's better they learn themselves RT @gettysburggerry: #Pocchat mentors do not "fix", they "guide"

    A6 A simple thank you is an amazing gift. I have kept many thank you cards over the years. They still mean so much! #pocchat

    AJ Borowsky@AskWhatNext
    A6 By being a mentor for others you pay it forward and share your mentor's expertise through you. #PoCchat
