HorsesMouth.co.uk - Online Peer Mentoring

Need a hand? Can lend a hand? If you think the answer to any of these questions is “Yes”, then a visit to the HorsesMouth website will not go amiss for (as the site itself puts it): “Someone knows what you need. Someone needs what you know.”

Through this site you will be able to mentor and receive advice on a wide-ranging collection of topics – from life and home to work and learning. The site itself is subdivided accordingly, and all these categories are just a mouse click away when you first set your browser to the HorsesMouth website. Specific issues on any of the aforementioned categories are highlighted on the left-hand side of the main page. For instance, you can find advice on starting a business or changing a career as far as the “Work” category is concerned, whereas some of the current hot topics under the “Life” heading include “Your rights and the Law” and “Home, money and finance”.

On the other hand, a section entitled “Thinking about mentoring?” provides some food for thought for those who are interested in helping other people out. It also lists the inherent advantages to such a position, such as publishing book references and web links.

“Someone knows what you need. Someone needs what you know.”

There are many people who need a helping hand, and helping others is a very noble thing to do.

How do I become a mentor? What’s the extent of the advice that can be given?
