KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Stats are real - you can advance your career 4 - 5x faster with mentors.

7 types of mentors everyone should have across their career - not all at once:

Company Insider

Skill Master Mentor

Money Minded Mentor

Industry Mentor

Network Mentor

Influential Ally

Peer Mentor

How do you navigate high stress situations in the world? Journal and write down all thoughts and feelings… The more you understand yourself and how to navigate high stress situations the better you are. And give yourself grace. The pressure to be perfect or align to what “Fast Company” says is a leader could be really hard to attain.

Mentors aren’t there to make decisions for you, they are there to inspire.

Why do people not ask people to mentor them? Fear of rejection / Not understanding what they’re asking for, but knowing they need it (ie. I’m sick, but I don’t know if I need a Tylenol or a flu shot?)

Diversify the mentors you work with - it reduces the anxiety, stress, fear of rejection that can blur the lines of mentor and emotional rejection.

Choice Driven Mentorship - allows mentees and mentors to take the pressure off

Having a fulfilling career is a fundamental right, don’t let anyone tell you you don’t deserve it!
