Great post! Wish I could have read this before I became a Mentor years ago. Thank you for sharing your experiences as a Mentor.

Thank you so much! I know what you mean. I had a lot of "I wish I'd known that ten years ago" when I first started studying mentoring....

Would you be so kind as to provide a citation for the study you mention near the end about mentorship relationships failing because mentors fail to understand their responsibilities? I’m interested in reading more about that. Thanks.

The 15% comes from https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0013161X04267118, which is an older report, but it's been cited in more than 1,000 studies, - and the issue, in terms of mentors being unclear in terms of obligations, that's really care in studies regarding formal mentoring programs and mentor training (e.g., including https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10872981.2018.1555435) which we're going to tackle in an upcoming issue HTH and thank you for reading!
