<em>A mentor relationship is a two-way street. To make it work, you have to bring something to the party.</em>
A lot of people don't realize this, which inspired me to write "How to get your Professors’ Attention — along with Coaching or Mentoring:" http://jseliger.com/2010/10/02/how-to-get-your-professors%E2... . I've observed lots of people doing it wrong, so I wanted to describe how to do it right.
I don't think of the mentoring and teaching as majorly different activities, as you do, but I think a lot of people don't realize they need to do something special to make themselves worth of investing in.
