Be the Captain of Your Mentor Ship

Do you have a mentor? Are you struggling to find one? Do you have any doubt that a mentor adds value to your professional growth? These questions (and many more) led us to talk through mentorship and what to look for in a mentor.

And, since we mention the "The 10 Commandments of Mentorship," here they are:
1: Don't use the word 'mentor'
2: Don't treat it like a transaction
3: Show up prepared with questions
4: Don't boil the ocean in every meeting
5: Ask your mentor to check your blind spots
6: Look for themes and organizing principles
7: Be honest and transparent
8: Don't give homework — focus on execution
9: Make sure mentors are learning too
10: Always have multiple mentors
