Mentoring is a great way to grow for both people involved.
Key Things to Remember About Mentorship and Finding a Mentor:
- It is not their position, but them as a person
- There are many types of mentorship, not just based on friendship and personal relationships
- Do not only look for superiors, but Look to colleagues too
- Don’t look for someone who is just like you (differences open horizons)
- Don’t ask for the detailed plan, ask for the tools to create your own path
- It is a relationship, so it is about Give and Take
If you work hard to find a mentor make sure to do these things:
- Show Appreciation
- Do What They Say
- Provide & Ask for Feedback
- Always Have Integrity
- Be Consistent in your actions / words
