 The 10 minute challenge
• Overcoming barriers to mentoring

Anyone can become a mentor – and be mentored by someone else. The art of mentoring has always played a large part of life at sea. Having the ability and motivation to informally pass on skills and knowledge to other people can enhance lives, further careers and help secure the safety and cohesion of the entire team.

In this updated and expanded guide to mentoring at sea, Captain LeGoubin explains how knowledge gained through experience and reflected upon can be passed on in an informal but transformational way.

This new edition explores topics such as:

• The 10-minute challenge and why it is needed now more than ever
• Breaking down barriers to mentoring
• Developing a culture of mentoring
• The impact of mentoring for mentor and mentee
