In this conversation, we discuss how mentorship can transcend beyond career growth, fostering trust and unity in a divided world.

She served two U.S. Presidents, held a senior partner role at Goldman Sachs, and is now Vice Chair at BDT and MSD Partners.

KEY TOPICS AND WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
THE IMPACT OF MENTORSHIP: Discover how a mentor’s belief can transform lives and why mentors are pivotal in seeing potential in us that we may not see in ourselves.
BUILDING TRUST: Dina shares how mentorship can rebuild trust in a world where institutional trust is waning, emphasizing that meaningful connections start with one person at a time.
DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN TRANSACTIONAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL MENTORING: Learn why it’s vital to engage in deep, value-based mentoring relationships that transcend mere transactional exchanges.
THE ROLE OF FEEDBACK AND TOUGH LOVE: Dina and Laura discuss the importance of receiving and being open to constructive criticism, and how it contributes to personal and professional growth.
THE GENDER DIMENSION IN MENTORSHIP: Addressing how post-MeToo gender dynamics in mentorship have evolved, and why cross gender mentorship is important.
PRACTICAL TIPS FOR BEING A GREAT MENTEE: Dina provides actionable advice on how to maximize the mentoring relationship through preparation and engagement.
