- Recognize biases and that they are their own person with thoughts, experiences and opinions.
- [[It isn't up to you as the mentor to change or override who they are, but rather to help them become a better and truer version of themselves]]. In the process, you may also discover aspects of yourself in which you can grow.

- Translate years of experience to advice, which may save hours of headaches and heartaches.
