I like this chapter in that it is the culmination of what I have been looking for. According to the chapter, Mentoring is really taking in another person's experiences and modeling or finding some continuum after one's own.
One thing I really want to stress is that mentoring is not telling someone what they should be doing, it's explaining what one's own experience has been in a given situation. Too many times people spend time telling their mentees what to do and then can't figure out why they don't do what they are told. That's parenting, not mentoring.
The chapters indicate mentors have clay feet in that they are still there, puposeful and a strong boat in the face of wind.
