Manage episode 489863576 series 3557145
Mentorship shortens the distance between where you are and where you're going by providing wisdom from someone who has already faced similar challenges. Having a guide who has climbed the mountain before you can completely transform your journey – not because they're perfect, but because they've gained valuable insights from their failures and successes.
• Mentors provide clarity when your vision is cloudy
• They tell hard truths when you're veering off course
• They offer encouragement when you need motivation
• Mentorship doesn't require formal arrangements – coffee conversations or weekly check-ins can be powerful
• Asking "how would you handle this if you were in my shoes?" can provide valuable perspective
• Consider both finding a mentor and becoming one for others
