Mentoring
Mentoring is a process where an experienced professional (the mentor) provides guidance and support to a less experienced individual (the mentee), helping them grow personally and professionally.
The industry requires members who are new to mortgage broking to find and engage with their own mentor.
The mentor helps mentees by:
A mentor should:
I want to mentor my colleague
You can mentor a new broker in your business or aggregation group without having a structured program.
I want to be an MFAA Endorsed Mentor
You need to have a structured program with supporting documentation which meet the MFAA Mentoring Standards.
Endorsed Mentors are listed on the Find a mentor page.
The Standards provide a transparent and consistent set of quality practices and expectations. The Key Focus Areas are listed in the Standards document.
As a new to industry broker, you are required to have a mentor who will guide and support you as you gain experience. You need to find your own mentor.
