Can mentoring boost your career? / Est-ce que le mentorat peut vous faire avancer dans votre carrière?

 (Le texte français suit.)

We all know anecdotally that being a mentor has its rewards. Mentors often report satisfaction from helping their mentees connect the dots between their abilities and their potential. Mentors relish the opportunity to pay it forward and report feeling fulfilled by the experience. But are their more tangible benefits, beyond the emotional gains? According to one study, the answer is a resounding yes.
