Be a Mentor

According to Dictionary.com

1. a wise and trusted counselor or teacher.

2. an influential senior sponsor or supporter

3. to act as a mentor: She spent years mentoring to junior employees.

4. to act as a mentor to: The brash young executive did not wish to be mentored by anyone.



Synonyms 1. advisor, master, guide, preceptor.

Try being YEAH YEAH Out Loud and "hear" the mentor in YOU!
