Mentors by @barryoreilly

Mentors give those with less experience advice or assistance in a specific area.

For example, when mentoring someone in product management, we may cover specific techniques and tools that they would like to understand better - like Discovery, Stoey Mapping, user interviews, etc.

Mentors may even advise on the skills needed to move up to the next level in a client's career.

However, unlike a coach who helps you discover your own answers, a mentor teaches, sharing their experiences and knowledge on industry related questions and challenges.

Also, mentors are often a voluntary or unpaid role.

Think "advisor" and "teacher."
