THE 5MINUTES MENTOR-MENTEE PLATFORM

For over a month now, I have been stuck at home like most people across the world, all thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic. At first, I just couldn’t believe that the standstill we were all experiencing was ever possible. It took some time to get used to the idea of waking up every day and staying at home. I have been through my own share of psychological breakdowns, but that is a story for another day.

 

Today, I have decided to share about something – the 5Minutes Mentor-Mentee platform, which I have found to be very useful in this period of lockdown, particularly for young people who desire to consistently grow and develop themselves. So please read on…

 

It is a globally accepted fact that MENTORSHIP is vital to self-development. Many Leaders have attested to the far-reaching benefits of walking under a Mentor’s tutelage. Thus, they always recommend this path (which they too walk) to every success-driven person. J Loren Noris captures this explicitly when he says “If you cannot see where you are going, ask someone who has been there before.”

 

On Monday 27th January 2020, the world saw the birth of 5Minutes – a Mentorship solution that does not only provide a platform for mentorship but also designs mentorship in a way that suits our reality (of short attention span). On the 5minutes Mentor-Mentee platform, Mentors share contents on specific interests that can be consumed in no more than 5minutes.

 

Pros:

• – Each content is straight to the point
• – Articles are no more than 500 words
• – Video contents are no more than 2mins, 30secs
• – Mentees can choose from various interests areas
• – Mentees can get to interact with their Mentors, and others Mentees too
• – Tasks area graded to improve performance

 

5Minutes covers interest areas such as:

• – Technology
• – Personal development
• – Faith and Religion
• – Entrepreneurship and StartUps  
• – Agribusiness
• – Sports and fitness
• – Entertainment

 

Additionally, Mentors and Mentees can interact effectively. Free contents on 5minutes are accessible to everyone, while premium contents are accessible to subscribers for a monthly $3 (N1,000) charge. There are also exclusive sessions which have unlimited content, created by Mentors and charged differently for a select set of subscribers. Mentees on 5minutes can also earn as they learn when they refer Mentors to the platform. Everyone on the platform has a “Referral Code” on their profile page with which they can refer Mentors to the platform. Every Referrer is credited 5% of the earnings of their referred Mentors for the next 12 months. What more can one ask for?

 

Most young people who were at the launch affirmed that 5Minutes is an interesting opportunity that will meet their Mentorship needs. One person ecstatically stated that “now I can get a Mentor without having to deal with the awkwardness associated with physical mentorship,” and I totally agree. Once my supposed Mentor tried to turn the whole situation into an opportunity to make advances, plus, most persons (Mentor figures) are not prepared for mentorship, so they make a mess of such opportunities.
