Synopsis
Hugh Mason has been a mentor for 20 years, but it’s only in the last year that he started looking into the decades of scientific research about what happens during a mentoring relationship and why it sometimes does and doesn’t work.
In this “fireside chat” Hugh shares five research findings he has found helpful that might help us all to better understand what’s going on when we help someone to grow.
