The relationship between mentor and mentee is one high on openness and low on bias and ego. The relationship is essentially inter‐developmental and the mentor should have no ‘agenda’.

Trust is placed in the middle because it forms the core of creating a productive environment where relationship, words, and intention can flourish. Trust acts as the glue that binds everything together.

It is crucial to build a productive and equitable mentor/mentee relationship. The power of any working relationship lies not just in the strengths each individual brings, but also on equal input from both sides.

While the mentor may be someone with more experience, with greater knowledge, or senior to the mentee, it is important to acknowledge the capacity and potential of the mentee, in order to build equity.
