1.8.9 Mentoring for Resilience and Ensuring Its Sustainability

The focus of this chapter is on mentoring for resilience while ensuring its sus- tainability. It is a worthwhile professional pursuit with value for mentees.

Sustainability is always open to interpretation. Given this, how sustainable is mentoring, in the sense that it viable, workable and maintainable especially in workplaces? As stated at the outset of this book, conceptualising mentoring is not straightforward as it crosses over into coaching, sponsoring and even counselling in terms of the processes it employs and the skills that it draws upon. Elements of all of these processes are used in mentoring.
