📚 Is mentoring important to you as a shortcut in the learning process?

Hi there! I'm Erdy, right now I'm building a mobility-as-a-service platform for the Indonesian market.

I want to share a bit about mentoring. I've been doing mentoring sessions since I was in high school in 2008. Back then, I was a mentee to dig and learn more about life purpose and more self-development. And it continues back in college and when I started my business until now.
I keep being a mentee today, but also to pay it forward, I'm starting to be a mentor on several occasions. Because I think mentoring is one way to shorten the learning process by listening & understanding it directly from the mentor. You don't need to experience things as the mentor did, but you can get the lesson learned from them, right?

As a mentor, I think mentoring is a two-way learning process. I learn a lot from my mentee, I can understand more about the trends that happened in my mentee's generation, their thinking process, etc. Through mentoring, it can make your perspective wider.

A few months ago, I have this idea to improve my mentoring experience, and who knows it can also improve others'. If you happen to be a mentor or mentee, please your thought and maybe pain in doing a mentoring session. Would be very glad to hear from you all!
