The mentor and mentee work together towards the same objectives, but<br />

both remain responsible for their own feelings and behaviour.<br />

Authenticity<br />

The ability to be yourself – to be real and genuine, communicates<br />

sincerity and encourages other people to be more open and honest in their<br />

communication with you. It requires a high level of emotional honesty and<br />

integrity to be who you are without pretence, rather than how others<br />

expect you to be.<br />
