A Note to Our Readers:
 

We believe that leaders cannot be effective without a strong and ongoing commitment to mentoring excellence. This belief, our passion for mentoring excellence, and our extensive experience in the field with organizations led us to create the Center for Mentoring Excellence. 

 

At our virtual center, www.centerformentoringexcellence.com, you will find mentoring tools and resources, expert advice and a forum for sharing best mentoring practices. We hope that you will visit us there and let us know how we can continue to help you raise the bar on mentoring in your organization.

We've decided to get into the swing of Valentine's Day early this month. At the Center for Mentoring Excellence we are great fans and collectors of good quotes. Our team has pulled together some of the mentoring quotes we love and hope you will find them just as inspiring, illuminating and thought provoking as we do. These quotes are our valentine to you.
