Mentoring movies

Below are the best movies we could find on Mentoring.

While our modern education system revolves around a classroom setting, much of our most valuable lessons come from direct advice given by someone experienced whom we know and trust. Whether called mentoring, coaching, or advising, offering the wisdom of our experiences to those eager to learn is a crucial foundation of maintaining a vibrant community. But learning how to be a great mentor doesn’t always come naturally—sometimes we need advice on how to give advice! Whether guiding someone along a career path, educating about a field of interest, or helping someone figure out interpersonal issues, we can all embrace the opportunity to make our hard-earned knowledge exponentially effective by sharing it with others.
