Part1:  Mentor/Mentee A Special Relationship
Mentoring:


A developmental caring, sharing and helping relationship where one person invests time, know-how and effort in enhancing another person's growth, knowledge and skills.


Responding to critical needs in the life of another person in ways that prepare that person for greater performance, productivity, or achievement in the future.


Mentor:


Anyone who has important, long lasting, beneficial life-or style- enhancing effect on another person, generally as result of personal one-on-one contact (regardless of the media used).


One who off knowledge, insight, perspective or wisdom that is helpful to another person in a relationship that goes beyond doing one's duty or fulfilling one's obligations.


Mentee:


A person being mentored by another person or persons; especially one who makes an effort to assess, internalize and use effectively the knowledge, skills, insights, perspective or wisdom offered by the mentor (s).


A recipient of a mentor's help, especially a person who seeks out such help and uses it appropriately for developmental purposes whonever needed.


Your frist step should be to list one developmental area where you might find is exciting to you, valuable or broadening to be mentored by an appropriate person.  Also think about what such a mentor would have to know to meet these needs?
In some ways, the most important issue is that a mentee might, in time, be able to mentor other people-even being both mentor and mentee at the same time, in different relationships, for different areas of learning.
