 January is National Mentoring Month!

As you may or may not know, January is National Mentoring Month.   In order to be a mentor you don’t need special skills – just a willingness to listen, offer encouragement and share what you’ve learned about life.  

Most successful people say they had mentors along the way who guided and encouraged them.  The Harvard Mentoring Project has been conducting videotaped interviews and collecting written essays in which prominent people from various fields talk about their mentors.  I hope you find it interesting!  http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/chc/wmy2008/wmy/intro.html
