Mentorship in Accreditation: You Don’t Need to Go It Alone
Episode Description:
In this episode of Accreditation Made Easy, Areaka Jewell dives into a powerful mindset shift around mentorship. We often imagine mentors as seasoned professionals offering long-term advice—but that’s only part of the story. Areaka explores how mentors can come from unexpected places, including peers, younger professionals, and even people you’ve never met.
Whether you’re new to accreditation or navigating a new phase in the process, this episode will inspire you to build a stronger, more diverse support system. You’ll also hear why “more guidance means more growth” and how to take the first step—even if you’re not sure where to begin.
