Ahhh mentoring. When you hear the term do you grimace or think fondly of the term? We hear the word used all the time and in many environments. Corporations have mentoring programs, individuals seek mentors, there is formal mentoring and informally mentoring. 

According to MentorcliQ:

84% of US Fortune 500 companies have mentoring programs100% of US Fortune 50 companies have mentoring programsOn average, US Fortune 500 companies with mentoring programs had better profits during the 2020 Covid-19 economic downturn94% of workers would stay longer and their employer offered more learning and career development opportunities. (LinkedIn)90% of workers who have a mentor report being happy in their job. (CNBC/Survey Monkey)Employees who are involved in mentoring programs have a 50% higher retention rate than those not involved in mentoring and 93% of mentees believe their mentoring relationship was useful. (MentorcliQ)

The statistics show there are benefits in mentoring, and those that have a mentor would agree. However, not as many people are engaging. 



In this episode, Donna and Jay have an honest discussion about mentoring - what it looks like in the military versus civilian; informal vs formal mentoring; what successful mentoring looks like; and what their individual experiences were with military mentoring.
