MENTORING AT YOUNG BUSINESS LEADERS  

In life as in business, making the right decisions is essential for success and happiness. Whether it is balancing career and family, choosing the right career path, starting a business, or personal issues, the mentoring program at YBL will connect men who are looking for guidance and leadership through life's issues with a mentor. YBL mentors are mature men with godly wisdom, business experience, and information resources that through a mentoring relationship can help the mentee reach his life's goals.

A mentor is:

  • successful in his career or profession
  • knowledgeable in his work, profession, or study
  • a person of influence
  • genuinely interested in the mentee's growth and development
A mentor is not:
  • automatically a close friend
  • 'on call' but is available through planned meetings
  • permanent as other mentors may become part of the mentee's experience to meet goals as circumstances change
A mentee is:
  • goal oriented
  • accepting of challenges
  • someone who takes initiative
  • willing to learn
  • an owner of responsibility
