Mentoring is the total crafting of excellence within a person. It involves the wise matching of two people: one person who has a proven success record in a field of work and one person, lacking experience and expertise, but who has a deep and sincere desire to be the best. Mentoring, while it can happen naturally and without any formal process, is often enhanced when there is a system designed specifically to bring two people together and provide a development plan that provides direction, accuracy, and measurement.

This handbook instructs you on how to bring two people together. It serves as a personal instruction manual to take people through the mentoring process. Use this handbook, making adjustments to better fit your specific situation, to guide you through the mentoring process.
