Mentoring Strategies at the

RIPLRT Institute

As stated by Ruslan Fomenko in a mentoring blog, “A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself” (by Oprah Winfrey). Shandra Bellinger further elaborates that there are different types of mentors (and different circumstances merit different mentoring styles), and mentoring is also a two-way street. Not only mentees but also mentors need to understand this inter-engaging relationship for mentoring to be effective and successful.
