Modern mentoring emphasizes mutual learning, diversity, and adaptability to rapidly changing industries and societal shifts. It often includes shared resources, ongoing feedback, and goal-setting to foster development. Unlike traditional models, it values empowerment, continuous learning, and responding to individual needs, enabling mentees to navigate complex career paths and life challenges confidently in a connected, digital world.
