What makes you a good mentor?

I have had a couple of individuals who have played a significant role in supporting me during my career. Their time, knowledge and care has been so valuable to me. I want to share my experience and knowledge to support others in considering their career options and decisions . I think it is important to have people who support you, who can provide alternative ideas when needed and cheer you on.
