Yes there are most definitely many of us out there that enjoy mentoring and sharing and challenging our colleagues! But remember mentoring is always a two way thing (you have to genuinely want to learn from someone and maybe even ask them directly)... and it’s often bi-directional meaning you may be the mentor on one topic while learning from others on another.

And finally, even if the mentoring relationship isn’t formal or the other party is a consultant...you may learn a lot from them as they have been around many other industries and environments.

And being argumentative out of ignorance will ensure that no-one is interested in sharing much of anything with you (I keep hoping my current client tech staff may one day learn this) :-)
