Women Raising Up Women: The Power of Mentoring Relationships
Ashley Graves | 2024
Abstract
Mentorships are crucial for women’s professional, personal, and spiritual growth. Research supports that women benefit far more than men from mentoring relationships. In the professional world, women open doors for other women in leadership roles. It is vital for women to see other women in leadership roles, and women are receptive to female role models. In all instances, mentoring relationships retain women in their situation, whether it be in a church environment, volunteer role or professional position. Women become more loyal to the organization the mentorship is related to.
In addition, practical tools in mentoring, personal examples, and Biblical references guide the reader into a mentoring relationship. Specific sections educate the mentor on ways to support the mentee and topics to guide the mentee through. The mentee is offered practical things to consider before entering into and during a mentorship. Women Raising Up Women is meant to be a practical guide for female mentoring relationships of all ages and in all stages of life.
