Mentoring Crash Course: Be the Mentor You Wish You Had
Mentoring works best when both people learn something.
Research consistently shows that people with mentors are more satisfied and more successful in their careers. What gets talked about less is that mentors benefit too. Mentoring makes you articulate what you know, question your own assumptions and stay connected to perspectives different from your own.
In this crash course I also draw a distinction many organizations miss. A mentor gives advice. A sponsor opens doors. Research shows that women and people of color are often over-mentored and under-sponsored. Advice without access only gets you so far.
What your audience takes away
- What makes a mentoring relationship work, for both sides
- The difference between mentoring and sponsorship, and why you need both
- How to be the mentor, and the sponsor, you wish you'd had
