Season 3 - Episode 53 - Instructor vs. Mentor - Which One Are You? - a podcast by Heidi Lyn Rao

What is the difference between an Instructor and a Mentor?  Can you identify the qualities of each of these titles?  When is it appropriate to be an Instructor, and at what point do you become a Mentor?  Can you distinguish the difference between the two?  

Instructing is just the beginning...soon, it may turn into a mentoring opportunity, which the focus is, and should always be, all about the student.  It's not about you, it's all about them.  What can you do to be the most effective Instructor and Mentor you set out to be?

By recognizing your own ignorance at times, being willing to step way outside of your comfort zone, and letting your students make mistakes, and keeping the stress level close to zero, the path to developing a successful and empowered student is soon to follow.
