How would you describe your mentorship style?

I approach mentoring with respect for my mentees' existing abilities, their time, and their home lives. I am always happy to hear a mentee's viewpoint or idea—even if it is contrary to my own. By fostering mentorship relationships, I have been able to tap into wells of mentee talent that might otherwise have been missed.
