Meet a mentor

This book presents, in a didactic and original way, the secrets of a successful mentoring relationship. It is aimed at mentors, future mentors, those involved in mentoring programs and, more generally, at the mentor in all of us. It asks questions about how we relate to those around us.

This edition offers two books in one:

• In Book I, the reader follows the evolution of the hero, Ben, as he faces a professional challenge, his informal meeting with Nicolas and then his encounter with Jacques, a mentor from a structured mentoring program.
• In Book II, the reader is invited to revisit Ben's story from different angles, to better perceive and understand the reasons behind the failure of his relationship with his first mentor and the success of his relationship with his second. The notions of dragons, and then of mentoring posture, are revealed as we read, first their definition, then the mentor's work to master them.

"A book full of common sense that puts people back at the center of the economic and financial ecosystem". Michel Meunier - Executive, entrepreneur and National President of CJD France (Centre des Jeunes Dirigeants) 2010-2012

"Frankly, it's a great piece of work! This will undoubtedly be a very important contribution to circulate among mentors in many organizations." Étienne St-Jean - Holder of the UQTR Research Chair on Entrepreneurial Careers and member of the Institut de Recherche sur les PME (INRPME) at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières

"This book is a must for every conscientious mentor. It provides a better understanding of the difference in the mentee's perception of the attitude of an improvised mentor and that of a knowledgeable mentor." Michel Rouillard - President of Réseau M's Montérégie Est Regional Council and member of the National Council
