I have always found this to be a balanced and powerful perspective as to how mentoring can/should fit into our lives.

I think they usually make it too complicated and have some sort of Jedi training scenario in their heads. It is often simple. Discuss problems, be a sounding board, make recommendations if you have something, and say you don't know if that is true. Thre is no need to develop a curriculum, that is more of an appreniceship. Mentoring is relationship based with hands one issues discussed while an apprenticeship is more task based with a demonstration and evaluation component. Of course there is a lot of variation in what people practice between the two. I have found that few people mentor formally well.
