The One Thing That Separates a Great Mentor from a Bad One

The one thing that separates a great mentor from a bad one? Alignment between words and actions. A great mentor doesn’t just give advice—they live it. They build trust, challenge you, and guide by example. They push when needed, listen when it matters, and stay in your corner when things get tough. If you want real growth, find a mentor who walks the walk—not just talks the talk.
