Maria LaMonaca Wisdom is a leading voice on mentoring and coaching in higher education. Her recent book, How to Mentor Anyone in Academia, offers methods and approaches to understand the mentor role. In this conversation, she articulates the differences among mentoring, teaching, and coaching, and the ways these coalesce in our work with students. Mentoring helps us value growth in a relationship as we bring our “whole selves” to the role. Maria emphasizes how to embrace revision and change as necessary in our career paths and vocational arcs. Mentors can help mentees realize their potential, asking important questions that illuminate motivations, values, and goals.
