Call them the accidental mentors. They didn't sign up for the role. They simply took a minute and stepped outside their jobs as teacher or boss or minister to give advice that turned out to be memorable, and important. Some of the advice can stick for life, like this gem I got from an old boss: "When you are responsible for judging your staff, get in the habit of saying something positive. If you do this nine times out of ten they will be listening, and hear you, the tenth time."
Today an e-mail arrived from a networking site called iHaspano.com that reminded me of the lingering importance mentors have played in my career. iHispano.com is launching its online mentorship program this month and they're looking for mentors from various industries nationwide. If you're looking to help either a student seeking career guidance or a professional looking to grow their career, sign up and become a mentor.
