Professionally I'd have to say my Manager is the only Mentor I've ever had that truly fit's the classical definition. I've worked with him for 5 years now (longer than I've worked anywhere) and he's been an honest and supportive guide through the whole time. Even with me out of town consulting on-site for the last 9 months he's always been there when I needed someone to cover my back in a tight situation (several have come up) and to give me honest feedback... whether or not I wanted it [img]smile.gif[/img] .
Personally I'm a bit of a loaner, so I don't really rely on others for "life lessons", I just as soon learn them myself. My father has been a great mentor to the extent that I've let him, and my family is a strong and supportive one... even though I'm often gone for months at a time. (in my family most members see eachother daily or weekly at worst)
